Delete Empty Folders

Automatic Empty Folder Deletion After Remediation

The Delete Empty Folders feature automatically removes directories that become empty following remediation actions. This feature helps maintain a clean and organized file system by eliminating unnecessary empty folders.

NFS, SMB and SFTP

Deletion Behavior

  1. Empty folder deletion occurs after a scan completes and then every 10 minutes.
  2. A folder will NOT be deleted if it contains any files or folders after the remediation.
  3. A folder will NOT be deleted if it was empty before the remediation.

Configuring Empty Folder Deletion

  • Navigate to Storage Units from the left-side navigation menu
  • Select the storage unit for which you want to configure empty folder deletion
  • Click the More Options button (represented by three dots) and choose Remediation Actions from the dropdown
  • In the Remediation Actions modal window, select the Other Remediations tab.
  • Enable the option: Delete a directory if it is empty after remediation - this does not delete if the folder was empty to begin with.
