Tool to delete empty (sub)folders? - problem with SyncBack 3.2

[klagol]

Hi there,

I need a tool, which deletes all empty subfolders of a folder specified
by the user. Does anyone know anything like that?

Maybe someone can elimante the reason for my need of such a tool:
I use SyncBack Version 3.2, which "synchronizes" (i.e. source to
destination - one way only) two folders that contain subfolders. The
source folder contains only a few of the subfolders the destination
folder contains. But SyncBack creates the subfolders, which are missing
in the source folder. I don't want that, SyncBack should leave the
source untouched. So I need a tool to remove these folders again or does
anyone know, if there's a way to stop SyncBack from behaving like this?
As far as I can remember, the old 3.1 behaved "correctly" ...

Thanks in advance,
klagol

You're more likely to get an answer to your SyncBack problem by posting
the question on the forums (no registration required):

By the way, if you want to delete all empty folders on the destination,
modify your profile, go to the Sub-directories tab, and enable the
option "Delete all empty directories in the destination". Also, V3.2.1
will be released soon which resolves a problem with deleting and
creating empty directories. It may fix the issue you are having.

Thanks
