Removing folder with single item

Post by imtrobin »

Hi

Is it possible to do this? I want to remove single folders in the hierachy.

e.g

Root
  Folder1
     Folder2
        Folder3
             Folder5
             Folder 6
     Folder4

to becpe

Root
  Folder2
     Folder5
     Folder6
  Folder4

The folder removes containts nothing except a subfolder, that's why they are not necessarily. Is there a way to do this with xplorer pro? Or another tool

Maybe X2 can still help with the task.

If you use Alt-D in the root folder you get a window with the sizes and count of files of the subfolders.

The ones without files and only subfolders are sorted at the bottom. You can't delete them directly from this pane, but you can jump to the folder with <enter> and delete it or collect to a scrap pane for later.

Not exactly what you want, but maybe it helps a bit.

Nikos, maybe it is possible to enable saving to a scrap pane from the alt-D pane? This would offer some nice possibilities.
