-====== How to remove empty folders ====== 
  
-DropIt allows to perform several operations on your files. Sometimes they are minor features, but still useful. An example is the support to remove empty folders and subfolders. 
- 
-To do it you simply need to follow these steps. 
- 
-\\ 
----- 
- 
-===== Step 1 ===== 
- 
-Uncheck "''​Scan subfolders and not try to process them''"​ from DropIt Options (it is required, otherwise subfolders will be always scanned and not processed as items). 
- 
-Optionally check "''​Ignore unassociated files/​folders''"​ from DropIt Options (it is not required, but avoids the need to decide how to process other files). 
- 
-\\ 
----- 
- 
-===== Step 2 ===== 
- 
-Create this association:​ 
- 
-Name: ''​Remove Empty Subfolders''​\\ 
-Rules: ''​**''​\\ 
-Additional Filters: ''​Size < 1 byte''​\\ 
-Action: ''​Delete''​\\ 
-Destination:​ ''​Directly Remove''​ 
- 
-\\ 
----- 
- 
-===== Step 3 ===== 
- 
-Drag-and-drop the main folder you want to scan, to remove included empty subfolders. 
- 
-Note that it will remove all subfolders //"​smaller than 1 byte"//,​ so also if they includes empty files.
