Erase all empty folders from your hard drive

Remove Empty Directories will surprise you in the same way you're usually surprised when running a temporary file cleaner. You'll be simply amazed to see how much space you can waste also on empty folders.

This little tools analyzes your hard drive (or just the folder you select) in search of empty directories, so that you can delete them afterwards and have a cleaner, better organized hard drive.

The program's settings allow you to set some basic rules and filters to modify its behavior. However, there's no backup, restoration point or anything similar so if you delete something important, it's up to you.

The whole process of scanning and deleting folders takes only a few minutes. What's more, you can run it from the folder's context menu, as Remove Empty Directories is integrated with Windows Explorer.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
