j2k4b Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 There are many folders and differnet files on my computer that don't have anything in them. Is there any software to remove them? I am cleaning house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 While I dont know if there are any programs that would remove them automatically (without you telling it to remove it), I believe I have read somewhere that there are a few folders in windows that is supposed to be empty, so dont remove those.

editor Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I believe a program called Empty Temp Folders will do that for you. It can be set to delete zero byte files. http://www.danish-shareware.dk/soft/emptemp/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crippen Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 killdisk.com Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser Active@ KillDisk - Hard Drive Eraser is powerful and compact DOS software that allows you to destroy all data on hard and floppy drives completely, excluding any possibility of future recovery of deleted files and folders. It's a hard drive and partition eraser utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Mark Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hello, Just remember to be careful when using a delete product like this because in some programs once you have deleted it a file its gone and gone for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2k4b Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Neither of those programs are what I am looking for. I don't want to delete my computer. I want to find a program instead of emptying temp files and so on. I need a proggy that deletes files and folders that are empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 This one seems to do what you want: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=3097 NOTE: I can not/will not be held responsible for any actions made by either you or this program if you decide to use it!

paultwang Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) As same for for all major operations, back up before doing it. Do a DIR \ /S /A>listing.txt first to create a list. If your OS starts complaining about missing dir/files, you know what names to put back. Edited January 21, 2006 by paultwang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
