Does Jenkins automatically remove the folders from /var/lib/jenkins/workspace for the next run?

No
the workspace is not cleaned. Assume you have a big git repo in your workspace. Usually you want to avoid to clone it for every build.
In freestyle jobs you can use the Workspace Cleanup plugin to delete things from the workspace
In pipelines use the deleteDir step
