DeleteEmptyFolders
Keep your file system clean by easily finding and removing empty folders
What is DeleteEmptyFolders?
DeleteEmptyFolders is a Windows utility that adds a Delete Empty Folders command to File Explorer's context menu when you right-click on one or more folders.
When you select this command, it scans the selected folders and displays a dialog listing all empty folders found (including folders that contain only empty subfolders). You can then choose which empty folders to delete.
