The hollow leftovers
Surface folders that hold nothing useful, the kind that pile up after you reorganize or clear out files.
Find folders that contain nothing useful.
Empty Folders hunts down the hollow leftovers - the directories that contained something once and now hold nothing - and lists them so you can reveal or clear them out after a big move or cleanup, deliberately and never by surprise.
