Title: Remove Empty Folders??
Post by: labambo on February 21, 2004, 08:48:46 am

Allways when I delete all files in a folder, I get the Remove Empty Folders message.

It's quite nice to ask me, however everytime it's pretty bugging.

How can I automate it or turn it off??

I want it to delete empty folders every time.

Please help..

Thanx

I agree .   It's nice to be asked but every time is a bit too much.  I'm the opposite though, I never want it to delete folders.  While not a top priority it would be nice to have an option to set my preference and turn this confirmation off.

This is a good point.  When you think about it the vast majority of people will have their own way when it comes to this.  They'll either always want to delete them or always want to keep them so an option would be good.  

There may have been a concern about deleting a folder on the basis of some check box that someone ticked accidentally or forgot about but if the folder is empty there's no real harm done.

To keep it intuitive for new users a message could be displayed first time with an option 'Use this action in future and don't ask me again' and a narrative telling them they can change the option via 'Tools>Options>...' if they change their mind in future.
