Delete Empty Folders and 0-Byte-Files

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Suggestions

What do you think about to add these Features:

- Delete Empty folders

- Delete 0-byte-files

- Delete orphaned lnk-files

- Delete invalid files and folders

With "invalid files and folders", I mean the problem, that occurs with robocopy, if you try to copy your userprofile and forgot to exclude Junctions with /XJ, at example:

robocopy C:\Users\Username X:\BackupDrive /e

Yes? Tell me at least one!

I suggest, to make that optional and turn the option off by default.

%temp% is sometime empty. But it is useful.

I have never seen the bother in empty folders. They take up no space. But if a user wants them gone then thats up to them.

For test sake i just ran find empty folders and it listed 903 empty folders. Bothers me? Not in the slightest. Most of them are burried so far in my computer and places i would never go.

I dont know what most of them are, and i am not going to research hundreds of folders before i delete them.

Each to there own really

This is from a program that finds empty folders.

Warning & Disclaimer

Some programs require certain folders to exist, even when they are empty. Deleting those folders may cause these programs to stop working properly. Only delete folders that you are sure you do not need.

In fairness though it would be a pretty poor application to crash or stop working from a missing required folder
