ZeroFolder

ZeroFolder is a simple-to-use command-line application designed to automatically identify and remove all empty folders from your computer. This way, you can find your files faster and organize them better by decluttering the disk.

Easy to set up and use

Console programs are preferred by some advanced PC users who want to carry out tasks by just typing a few lines of text instead of wasting time looking for buttons in a graphical interface.This tool gets the job done with minimal user assistance. It doesn't feature command-line arguments, so you don't need previous experience with CLI software to be able to use it without complications.

Find and remove empty folders

All you have to do is open a Command Prompt dialog, go to ZeroFolder's location in Windows Explorer, as well as type its name (with or without the .exe extension) to trigger the automatic scanning operation. The program checks your local drives for empty directories and deletes them as soon as they're detected. It shows their full path in the console window.

No setup required, besides Java

The entire application's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be copied to a preferred directory on the disk or to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly launch it on any computer.It doesn't create files on the disk or change the system registry settings. Just keep in mind that you must have Java installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform.

Evaluation and conclusion

It hasn't received updates for a long time and this is probably why it failed to identify the latest version of Java in our tests. It worked with older Java, though. Cleaning tasks were quickly performed while CPU and RAM usage remained low.However, ZeroFolder doesn't make room for any kind of configuration, which is inconvenient for experienced users looking for versatility.
