Remove Empty Directories - a freeware tool to batch delete empty folders
One might think that searching and deleting empty directories is a trivial thing, but once you have hundreds of them it get’s really exhausting. That’s the reason I made RED. It’s a small and simple tool that searches and deletes empty directories recursively below a given start folder. And before deleting anything it let’s you check all empty directories it found.
Features
. Shows empty directories before deleting them
. Supports multiple delete modes (including Delete to recycle bin) (Version 2.2)
. Allows white and black listing of directories by using filter lists
. Can detect directories with empty files as empty
