Great program! Can it delete folders?

Hi --

I have to directory trees that contain a number of orphaned (empty) folders -- is there a way to detect and delete these?

Thx!

Ramon

I guess that wasn't very clear. I want to detect duplicates in the tree structure if one of the items is empty/has no children. For example.

C:/My Music/Sting
D:/My Music/Sting/song1.mp3
D:/My Music/Sting/song2.mp3

I would like to identify C:/My Music/Sting as OK-to-delete because it is empty and has a matching, filled subdirectory on D:. Is this possible?

thx,

Ramon

Short answer - not currently possible with DC 1.3!

Sorry!

this would be really useful. most of my duplicate files are an entire folder of duplicates. ie, a cd ripped at 320 and the same cd ripped at 192. if the program could show when two folders have all the same contents I would spend a lot less time reviewing the results. i visually review them, as opposed to just using the selection assistant to pick the higher bitrate, because i want to be sure that one of the folders doesn't have some sort of bonus track.

anyway, even as is, this is by far the best software for removing duplicates that i've found - thanks!
