## Synopsis
|
2017-01-02 16:30:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This removes any empty directories (or directories that only contain
|
|
|
|
|
empty directories) under the path that it finds, including the path if
|
|
|
|
|
it has nothing in.

|
|
|
If you supply the --leave-root flag, it will not remove the root directory.

|
|
This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
empty directories in.
