DelEmpty

Do you have the habit of creating a new folder for each new file you need to store on your computer? If the answer is yes, there is a high probability of having lots of empty folders that clutter your drive. Checking which folder is empty and deleting it is not a big deal, but it becomes a chore if you have multiple partitions and directories to dig through. To avoid investing unnecessary time in this type of task, you can consider giving DelEmpty a try — a lightweight tool that identifies any empty folder in a jiffy.

DelEmpy packs a simple interface that sports only two buttons and a list for all detected items. Finding empty folders is a walk in the park. Click the Browse button to start the drive selection process. Of course, not only drive are available for use, but any directory as well, created by the OS or by yourself.

Choosing a drive/directory will cause the app to search for all present folders. To avoid any confusion, DelEmpty won't display just the empty folders, but all existing ones. To differentiate between them, the Delete box for the completely empty folders will be checked by default.

On top of that, there are filters that show the number of files, folders, or programs, as well as the overall size. A folder with 0 in all categories or filters is definitely empty. Once you've decided which items to keep and which to dispose off, click the Delete button.

In case you discover directories you don't even remember, there is a quick way of opening them, thus avoiding wasting time with the File Explorer. Double-click a folder's path to reveal its contents.

At first sight, DelEmpty looks unimpressive and redundant, but for those with the habit of creating tons of new folders and forgetting to move files to them, it might come in handy. Cleaning useless folders with one click is way easier than manually searching and erasing them, a fact that gives this app its purpose.
