Delete Empty Folders

The Delete Empty Folders utility adds an extra command to the menu that appears in Window Explorer when you right click on a folder. This command is used to safely remove empty folders from your hard drive. This command is useful in two ways:

Helping to prevent accidental deletion of files

This command provides complete peace of mind if you ever want to delete a folder that you think is empty. The usual Windows command to delete a folder will always delete any files and subfolders that a folder contains. By using the Delete Empty Folders command, you can be sure you are not accidentally deleting a folder that does contain some files.

Helping tidy folders after files have been deleted

Whenever files are automatically deleted, it is often the case that empty folders get left behind. Possible ways that this can happen include:

• Developers using a source control system such as Perforce.
• Developers using project maintenance commands such as make clean
• Using Windows Search to find files and using the results list to delete files.
