I'm using VirtualBox Version 6.1.18 r142142 (Qt5.6.2) on windows 10 21H2 with an Ubuntu 20.04 as guest OS.
I set up a shared folder, set as auto mount, leave the mount point blank and select Make permanent.
The shared folder appears mounted in /media/ but what I copy there in the Linux OS doesn't appear in Windows.
Neither what I copy from the Windows side is visible on the Linux side.
If I power off the VM, delete the shaed folder and start it up again, the shared folder is still there (I would expect it to be gone)
In a terminal, sudo ls /media/ shows the 'ghost' folders mounted
sudo umount /media/* returns
umount: /media/<folder_name>: not mounted
Problem with shared folders

What do you mean by "appears mounted"? Does `df -h` show the mounted filesystem?I set up a shared folder, set as auto mount, leave the mount point blank and select Make permanent.
