Linux Ubuntu: how to track down what creates the /Download folder?

The Download folder is constantly suddenly created at the root of the root, and I just can’t figure out what process is creating it. Googled - logging lsof -p1 does not help, only "====" in the logs.

Delete the folder, create a file in the root with the same name without permissions.
The service that creates the folder will break on this - you see, it will swear in the log;)

See what processes are running as root, see also
ps -ax
Maybe a process will refer to this directory
