those are called "iBlanks"
a lot of themes require certain items or icons to be placed near the bottom. Since you cannot move an icon to the bottom without having something at the top, they created a workaround by creating blank, transparent icons that are basically iconless bookmarks. If you set up 4 per row and line up the first 2 rows with these iBlanks, you can fill that space up with a Hero Clock or something, and have real icons at the bottom.
the reason they "come back" is maybe you have more than you think, so when you delete one it gets replaced by another. Or any time you install a new theme, sometimes i will load them as part of the theme.
edit:
check this theme out:

on the 3rd image (the one with the desire clock and weather), normally icons would cover that area, but since he's got 3 rows of iBlanks, it just shows the clocks, with the 4th row being real icons.
