Keep your PC clean with Remove Empty Directories

Remove Empty Directories
If you're like most PC users, you add and remove programs regularly, rearrange your music folders periodically, and generally leave your file system looking messier than your bedroom floor. You probably have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of folders on your PC containing absolutely no files.

Remove Empty Directories is a free application that does exactly what you'd expect it to. It removes empty directories. Yeah, we know it probably violates some sort of cardinal rule of software to give software an obvious name, but we'll let this one pass.

If you have temporary directories or other folders that might be empty at the moment, but which shouldn't be deleted, you can "protect" those files from deletion. And while you can scan your entire hard drive, we'd recommend against it. Certain empty folders in your Windows and Program Files directories may be needed in order for applications to run properly.
