Title: Removing Empty Folders
Post by: josephzitt on April 20, 2017, 04:56:42 PM
When I drag a folder from the Windows Explorer to move the contents to MusicBee, it does so, and *usually* removes the folder from the source location, as it should.

However, if the art is in a folder within the current one on the source, while the art folder is emptied out and recreated in the target location, the emptied art folder, and thus the otherwise-empty source folder remains, and has to be removed manually.

Could you make MusicBee consistently remove emptied folders from sources that have been moved, including now-empty subfolders? It's probably a small tweak, but I've now encountered the issue hundreds of times.

Thanks

Do you have "also move remaining non-media files" checked under your organization settings?

Yes, I do. MusicBee does move those files and recreate the folders, as expected, but it leaves the empty folder in the old location, and thus does not remove the source folder, differing from what it does when the source folder has no folders remaining in it.

i.e. no recursive deletion if down-level folder had non-media files?

Right. It moves the files but leaves the now-empty folders.

Steven, i've reorganized my library today and i can confirm this odd behavior.
