OneDarkLord Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Maybe add feature to delete empty folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted June 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2013 this is oft requested, however the majority feel that since destruction of empty folders can break some apps, and no gain of freespace is gotten from their removal, that it would be an unwelcome addition to CCleaner. However the developers consider all viable suggestions. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

OneDarkLord Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Empty folders usually left after uninstalling programs,leaves the computer disorganized with empty folders which are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted June 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2013 but a program like CC won't know if the folder is left empty due to an uninstall or empty for some other reason. it's rare, but there are programs out there that expect certain folders to be there - empty or not. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Alan_B Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 My HP Printer software insisted upon installing drivers to "print to the cloud". I would delete them and they were resurrected when I printed on paper. I then deleted them and replaced them with empty folders that had the same name as the drivers that HP wanted me to have, and then HP obeyed my wishes. There are all sorts of benefits to be had with an empty folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
