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.

This didn't work too well for me. Not only was scanning slow and pretty much took over my laptop's entire memory, but it was only able to delete a handful of files before the process was halted by a file which was in use (which is strange considering this program is meant to delete 'empty' folders).
It's a nice idea, but not very well implemented and perhaps released a little to early.

I had the same issues as the guy above. Any ideas? Do you need to run this thing in Safe Mode??
