 * i am using wordpress on hostgator with cpanel , now the problem is that i had
   a directory called “stock” in root folder where wordpress was installed , i deleted
   that folder and then i had a page in my website called “stock” so now wordpress
   seems to automatically make directory , i asked hostgator help he said it was
   script making the folder , i cannot seem to understand , i deleted it , renamed
   it , moved it , still it seems to recreate itself , is it a wordpress issue or
   cpanel issue

 * WordPress doesn’t create any folders outside of the wp-content folder.
