Some files and folders are automatically re-written to the Internal or External SD card for some apps like LOST.dir, Pictures, Data, DCIM, Android, but personal files that you put there like documents, music, videos, photos, should stay gone if you delete them.

What files or folders are coming back?

Sounds like you have some auto-sync app enabled.  Is your data higher than normal after you try this on mobile data?  Do you have Google Drive, Verizon Cloud, Microsoft OneDrive, anything like that that might auto sync?

Did you try moving or coping the stuff you want to keep to a computer than reformat the card in the phone then move that good  stuff back on to the card or use a new card?

Try installing a new card, download some files to it then delete them, reboot the camera to see if they come back. Make sure Wifi and data are turned off, this will rule out any outside communication to your phone even though you said earlier that none of that stuff was ever set up.
