delete all empty folders in a location?

Post by isaac124 »

So for some reason mm is leaving behind a lot of empty folders. i thought when i did auto-organize i always had the delete empty folder option checked but it doesn't seem to work.

any idea how i can get rid of these empty folders now?

Perhaps they have hidden files like hidden image files (common from WMP or Windows) in which case they won't be deleted.

MediaMonkey will only delete empty folders, there are topics on solutions (non-MediaMonkey) to remove empty folders: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ty+folders

i ended up having mediamonky move all files to a new location.. then i deleted all remaining folders at the old location and moved everything back again.. a painful process for 9000 tracks but.. it worked
