 * Hello [@likhonbd33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/likhonbd33/)
 * Thanks for reaching out, I understand it’s vital to know how those files are 
   being created. If W3 Total Cache is not installed and active, it should not be
   possible for it to be making any changes on your website.
 * First, by default, W3 Total Cache creates a directory `wp-content/cache` (not
   in uploads) that stores your static assets and page cache.
 * Many other caching plugins share this same behavior, including WP Super Cache.
   It’s possible that if you switched to a different caching plugin, the same directory
   would be recreated after you delete it.
 * Are you currently using a different caching plugin, and if so, which one? We 
   can double-check to see if that plugin might be recreating the directory.
