[SOLVED] folder /. /..

Hello,

I think I accidentally created the folders /. and /..
When I type

cd
ls -a

as root I get

. .. .bash_history

Are these folders supposed to be there? How can I remove these without destroying my filesystem?
Thanks in advance!

So are they supposed to be there? I can't remember my last install having these.
