IMAP folders automatically created that can't be deleted

With version 11.48, I have some new mailboxes Junk and Archive that can't be deleted. Even deleting them from the command line, they are instantly recreated. I think this has something to do with iOS autoconfigure. I can't configure my mail in iOS to choose any folder other than Archive for archiving emails. If I make a change, it doesn't stick. I tried turning off Autoconfigure/Autodiscover but it didn't fix the issue. Any ideas?

  Hello :) Dovecot and Courier are now configured to inform mail clients of special IMAP folders such as Trash, Junk, Sent, and Archive. They are configured to automatically create:
  mailbox Archive { special_use = \Archive auto = create }
  Thus, it's not possible to remove them (this was discussed in internal case number 161561). I suggest opening a feature request for the ability to delete those folders: Submit a Feature Request Thank you.
