I executed your command and I do have such amount of subdirectories. But I
don't have in my backup on external drive! So I did an investigation and found,
that almost all of these subdirectories are stored in
/home/panlukasz/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/local/home/panlukasz/.local/

This is inception! Bug in Dolphin! When I tried to change view properties in my
home directory, Dolphin tried to change these properties also in hidden
directories, including directory, in which it stores information about view
properties. So it created directory structure for ~/.local/ in
~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/local/home/panlukasz/
And it did so recursively, making very deep directory structure
