powershell how to removve only empty direcoties

To remove only empty directories using PowerShell, you can use the Remove-Item cmdlet with the -Directory and -Recurse parameters. Here's the command you can use:

Get-ChildItem -Directory | Where-Object { $_.GetFileSystemInfos().Count -eq 0 } | Remove-Item -Recurse

Let me break down the command for you:

  1. Get-ChildItem -Directory retrieves all the directories in the current location.
  2. Where-Object { $_.GetFileSystemInfos().Count -eq 0 } filters the directories and selects only those with no files or subdirectories inside.
  3. Remove-Item -Recurse removes the selected empty directories.

Please note that this command will permanently delete the empty directories, so use it with caution.

I hope this helps!
