- | ====== 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. |
