Delete Empty Folders and 0-Byte-Files


R2D2

Recommended Posts

What do you think about to add these Features:

 

- Delete Empty folders

- Delete 0-byte-files

- Delete orphaned lnk-files

- Delete invalid files and folders

 

With "invalid files and folders", I mean the problem, that occurs with robocopy, if you try to copy your userprofile and forgot to exclude Junctions with /XJ, at example:

robocopy C:\Users\Username X:\BackupDrive /e

 

It is also discussed here:

I have never seen the bother in empty folders. They take up no space. But if a user wants them gone then thats up to them.

 

For test sake i just ran find empty folders and it listed 903 empty folders. Bothers me? Not in the slightest. Most of them are burried so far in my computer and places i would never go.

 

I dont know what most of them are, and i am not going to research hundreds of folders before i delete them.

 

Each to there own really

No fate but what we make

This is from a program that finds empty folders.

 

In fairness though it would be a pretty poor application to crash or stop working from a missing required folder
