Automatic deletion of empty folders

🍱 Features & apps files-retention

Hi,

I’ve configured a FileDrop where I upload reports I create so that others can download them. I’m going to use automatic tagging and file retention to ensure that the files are deleted after a given interval, depending on the file.

However, I would also like to delete the empty folder after the files are deleted. There might be several files in one folder, so ideally it would check if the folder is empty and then delete it.

Is this possible with tagging and retention? I can’t seem to find out how myself.

Hi!

Does anyone know if this is possible today?

I.e., not just delete files that have been automatically tagged, but also ensure that the directory the files resided in is deleted once it’s empty.

Bump!

The File Retention app does not seem to delete empty folders which are tagged for deletion. It only seems to delete the files within them.

Is there a way to fix this?
