Fast Empty Folder Finder : Free Utility to Find out All The Empty Folders

randi — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:01:05 +0000

Wouldn’t it be great if someone wrote a simple tool that finds and deletes all that junk? Fast Empty Folder Finder is a great tool that will quickly find empty folders, show you a preview of its contents (for safety), and give you the option to delete those folders. This is the best program to get rid of all the empty folders on your computer as they does not mean anything if they don’t have any contents in them.

Fast Empty Folder Finder is compact, and since it’s also portable freeware, it requires no installation but runs as soon as you click its executable file. It has a very simple but efficient, even elegant interface, with a plain main view anchored on the top by a toolbar with drop-down lists for Choose Locations and Options, including a pop-up file browser for adding locations; Scan Now, Delete Checked, and About buttons; and on the left, small icons for adding to the exclusion list and toggling the explorer panel.

This tool takes some pains to make sure you don’t delete the wrong folders, not only analyzing the content to verify they’re truly empty but letting you preview them to satisfy yourself. It made quick work of a 500GB media drive, finding several empty folders that we soon deleted. However, twice we ran it on the 60GB of files in our C: drive, and twice it stopped working. Though the drive held less overall, it held many, many times the number of files of the media drive, and it seems likely that we just fed it too much at one time. Given smaller bites, Fast Empty Folder Finder certainly lived up to its name.

Enhancements :

The “delete checked” button is now only enabled when results are visible
Fixed big that allowed 1 empty folder to remain every scan
Added drag drop functionality to main window. draging folder(s) to it trigger a scan
Reconfigured the explorer panel to suppress possible error messages
Fixed bug that failed to save and load a empty list of scan locations
A few other minor fixes

Even with its apparent size limitations, we heartily recommend this small, free, portable tool, which does something fairly unique but unquestionably useful. It belongs on every portable USB toolkit, too. Since it’s free, you have nothing to lose but your empty folders.
