Desktop Folder Copy or Same?

Hi,
I have a folder on my desktop named Frank. It consists of several
subordinate folders and files. If I right click it I do not see properties
and it does not have the short cut arrow. This folder contains exactly the
same subordinate structure,files and folders as does C:\Users\Owner. In other
words, Owner and Frank are identical. Can I delete it without losing
C:\Users\Owner ?
I have always been confused to see C: subordinate to desktop. The path
displayed by Windows Explorer is Desktop > Computer > C: Since everything
must be on C:, I would think C: would begin the hierarchy.
Thanks
Frank

This occurrence makes no sense to me, so I suspect it would be prudent to
not delete the folder-like object it until someone who actually knows what
it is comes along :-)
