delete empty folder and subfolders?


Recommended Posts

hello,

I'm using portableapps tool: https://portableapps.com/ and I've noticed that sometimes (maybe after an update? not sure..)

it creates am empty folder named "Documents" and inside it 3 empty folders named "Music", "Pictures" and "Videos",

I tried to add the folder documents in ccleaner with the option "delete files, subfolders and the folder itself" but

it doesn't select it, at least I can't see it in the results,

am I doing something wrong? if not, is there a workaround for this case?

thanks

Where does it create that empty folder and sub-folders?
ie. what is the full pathname for them?

Are you sure that it is that app that is creating them?
Microsofts own OneDrive does a similar thing for each user of a computer.

Be very very careful if you try to add those folders for cleaning, you don't want to be clearing your standard folders with those names.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
