WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
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)
- Allows white and black listing of directories by using filter lists
- Can detect directories with empty files as empty
DOWNLOAD LATEST BETA VERSION (2.3-BETA.0)
Update – February 2021: Finally I had some time to work on RED again and there is a new release on the way.
Actually, it is already finished but it still needs some testing. So if you feel like it, you can already try it and optionally send me feedback.
Okay, cool! Show me the beta version.
