Deleting Empty Sub-Folders
The following tutorial will demonstrate how to use FileMonkey to delete all empty folders on the target path.
An empty folder is a folder that contains no files or sub-folders (including hidden and system files and folders).
This will be done using the "Command Line" feature.
1. |
Launch FileMonkey. Use the folder tree on the left of the main window to target the path that you wish to work on. This operation will delete all empty sub-folders on that path. |
2. |
Select the "Quick-Find, Command Line" menu item from the main window. The "Create/Run Batch File" window should now be open. |
3. |
From the menu bar at the top of this window, select the "File / Load Code" menu item. |
4. |
This will open the "Load File" dialogue box (Fig 2). Use this box to navigate to the folder that FileMonkey is installed in (This is usually something like: C:\Program Files\FileMonk) Select the file DeleteEmptyFolders.FM and click the "Load" button. |
5. |
Please verify that you have loaded the correct script ("DeleteEmptyFolders.FM"). The command line window should now look like Fig 3 above. |
6. |
To delete all empty folders on the target path, select the "File / Compile And Run" menu item. |
