Remove Empty Directories App???

[Virgorising]

Hi.

My little compulsion to get new apps presented again. As usual, I delved re best freewares sites, found this, Remove Empty Directories, Red. So I got it, ran it, it found tons of things. But I do not wanna mess myself up letting it remove things, cause I have a history of doing that.

Anyone familiar with this app?

I will not let it do diddly until I hear back. I mean it.()🙂

Thanks in advance.

Edit: LOOK! Everyone loves this free app!

K.....I am determined to wait for once. But in anticipation of good comments, I turned on sys restore and made a point......jus to save time.:biggrin:

O Look! See how safe this thing seems to be?:biggrin:

So hard for me to wait, but this time, I am determined to wait for non compulsive pundits to comment.()🙂

I tried, I truly did. I have a complusion/addiction:$. So I tried, but I just couldn't wait more. So, I ran it again and this time, let it remove things! Was VERY FUN watching it. Felt as if I was doing good for the system!

So far, nothing blew up, but I must reboot to see if something got messed up. But, I am leaving what it removed in the Bin.....cause if necessary, I could just hit restore re the hundreds of folders it removed.

Edit! I rebooted, was able to use Revosleep normally to put my backup drive to sleep; as of now, nothing appears messed up!

Just maybe, this is an AWESOME FREEWARE everyone should get and try!!!!:biggrin:

If those 483 empty directories were, in fact, junk, is this not fabulous, this thing?:biggrin:

And, I read the guy's page, he is Real Deal! Meticulous. Which is why people send hm money which surprises him! and I might be the enxt one to do that if nothing is, as it appears....messed up.

NOT SNAKE OIL! Almost positive.

Harmless empty directories are just that - harmless.
Not sure why anyone would take the chance using automated software to remove them. This is similar to removing unused registry entries. It's like removing grains of sand from a beach and expecting a difference.

Sorry, I like it!:biggrin: Never said harmful......I see them as not necessary glut.

Grains add up over time.()🙂

Try this one: Remove Empty Directories - CNET Download.com​

Empty directory folders are annoying, but not often a cause for great concern. Still, they build up over time, and Remove Empty Directories is a smart and fast solution. The tiny program greets you with a mostly blank pane and an icon key to understanding your results. There's a dialog box at the top to specify a particular folder or drive to search, although by default it checks your C drive.
