Why would you want to do this might I ask? Seems rather pointless. Also seems a touch dodgy as (buggy?) applications could well rely on those folders existing.-Eóin (April 11, 2010, 11:13 PM)

I would hope any half smart program would re-create any folder needed that it created as empty to begin with.Don't depend on it. After all, if I create a folder I need in an app installer, why would I need to re-create it later on?

Welcome, and thank you for using FolderSizes.[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
FolderSizes is a powerful, network-aware disk space analysis and reporting tool designed to help you manage disk space usage. It can quickly isolate a variety of space-wasting files (such as large, temporary, and duplicate files) – plus, it reveals file distribution by type, attributes, size, owner, date, or filename length. All within an intuitive and fully interactive user interface.
FolderSizes helps you to reclaim valuable hard drive space by providing you with visual feedback relative to file system object distribution and size. Simply select a folder or hard drive, and FolderSizes does the rest - producing insightful, visual reports on what drives, files and folders are consuming the most space.
