Nick Craig-Wood 7060777d1d docs: fix hugo warning: found no layout file for "html" for kind "term"
Hugo has been making this warning for a while

WARN found no layout file for "html" for kind "term": You should
create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for
this combination.

This turned out to be the addition of the `groups:` keyword to the
command frontmatter. Hugo is doing something with this keyword though
this isn't documented in the frontmatter documentation.

The fix was removing the `groups:` keyword from the frontmatter since
it was never used by hugo.

# rclone rmdirs
Remove empty directories under the path.
## Synopsis
This recursively removes any empty directories (including directories
that only contain empty directories), that it finds under the path.
The root path itself will also be removed if it is empty, unless
you supply the `--leave-root` flag.
Use command [rmdir](/commands/rclone_rmdir/) to delete just the empty
directory given by path, not recurse.
This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
empty directories in. For example the [delete](/commands/rclone_delete/)
command will delete files but leave the directory structure (unless
used with option `--rmdirs`).
This will delete `--checkers` directories concurrently so
if you have thousands of empty directories consider increasing this number.
To delete a path and any objects in it, use the [purge](/commands/rclone_purge/)
command.
```
rclone rmdirs remote:path [flags]
```
## Options
```
-h, --help help for rmdirs
--leave-root Do not remove root directory if empty
```
## Important Options
Important flags useful for most commands.
```
-n, --dry-run Do a trial run with no permanent changes
-i, --interactive Enable interactive mode
-v, --verbose count Print lots more stuff (repeat for more)
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
