Accidently deleted empty downloads folder?

I was running the CCleaner app on my HTC Nexus 9 running Android 7.1- which isn't so useful as it was before on 6 because it won't clean all the App caches with one tap. I had the "remove empty folders" setting checked and it deleted my empty downloads folder. Can I just make a new folder named "Downloads" and everything will be all right? I have an Asus File manager running and it doesn't recognize the Downloads folder anymore.
