Tom AZ Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Just wondering if there's a potential problem with deleting empty folders? I'm assuming that some programs require these (empty) folders from time to time. Is there any way to differentiate between the ones that might be needed and the ones that are not?

Matt_ Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The ones that are needed by the O.S are probably hidden in the first place. http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Don't delete OS related empty folders. They might not be critical, but they are often times re-created after system reboot. It's better to leave them alone. And since they are empty, they don't take any disc space. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 tbh it's more harm(can be caused) then good. whats the actual hassel with an empty folder? is it harming your pc? is it taking up space?(maybe if there was 10 million) unles you know what it is. just leave alone. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2009 That and you'll know if Windows wants a certain folder to remain intact even if it's completely empty, case in point: C:\Program Files\xerox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
