Usually, I’m content with letting them be, because locating each and every empty folder on your system just isn’t worth the bother.

Empty folders are apparently harmless, but their presence becomes annoying especially when you reach a dead-end in a long list of sub-folders within a directory. Moreover, if you are the organizing and obsessed-with-cleanliness type, seeing empty folders would remind you of a room full of random, useless objects scattered here and there. In such dark times, you would yearn for a simple utility to get rid of all meaningless folders in your system. On a serious note, empty folders distort focus in search results in cases where you are locating valuable data for quick retrieval. Fast Empty Folder Finder is an application for Windows that allows you to swiftly search for empty folders in a specific location or the complete disk space. In addition, it lets you ‘drag and drop’ folders and import lists (in .FEFF format) for scanning empty folders from the specified path. You can further define exclusions to refine the scope of the scanning operation. Select relevant search results and get preview and delete options within the application interface. Read More

When you install a software in your computer, a new directory is automatically created to save the application's files. This directory is then used to store everything related to the application, such as project data, log files etc. After a while, when you are done using the application, you uninstall it. Sometimes, during the uninstallation process, it happens that the application files are deleted, but the directories initially created by the program are left behind. Manually locating and deleting these empty folders is not an easy task, since a computer can have hundreds of empty folders depending on how much it has been in use. This creates a lot of clutter in your system over time. Empty Folder Cleaner is an application for Windows that allows you to locate and delete empty folders from your hard drive. You have the option to send the deleted files to the Recycle Bin, delete them directly, or create a backup before deletion. If the located folders are locked, you can unlock them before deletion using the built-in file and folder Unlocker. Read More

In the same way, sometimes we stumble upon an empty file inside a folder, which is not useful for anything. Most of the times, these empty files and folders are remnants of uninstalled applications. For instance, when you download and install new software, it often creates a directory on your hard drive to save all its executable and log files. However, when you uninstall it, all of those files are folders are not always removed with the software. Some of the folders are often left behind, even though all the files in them are deleted. If you have the habit, or your work requires you to install a lot of applications, you are sure to have a lot of these empty folders and files in your computer. They are not exactly harmful, but can really clutter up your hard drive. Hunting for them manually can be a tedious task since Windows provides you with no way to search for empty folder.
