Is this normal behaviour?
Can I delete one (how about both)?
Running macOS Mojave 10.14

Neither of these are your actual iCloud Drive folders where your iCloud Drive data is stored.
If you don't need their contents, you can delete both of them.
iCloud Drive data is stored in ~/Library/Mobile Documents
If you don’t have that folder, then it means your machine isn’t hosting a cached copy of iCloud data locally.
From my MacBook's Finder window, I deleted the empty Desktop folder from iCloud Drive and then immediately emptied the trash before the folder had time to reappear in iCloud Drive. The folder did not reappear.
After a few seconds iCloud refreshed and the Documents folder was deleted from my iOS device as well!
I then followed the same steps to delete the empty Documents folder.
