Microsoft Store makes unwanted empty DeliveryOptimization folder

So... in the past I used the Microsoft Store app to install a game to my SSD since I had a 3 month Game Pass. I've since uninstalled the game. Now when I install updates for remaining applications on my system via the Microsoft Store... it creates a empty DeliveryOptimization folder on the SSD.

How do I stop it from making that folder? No "apps" are installed to the SSD.
