Is there a way to scan and delete empty folders in my account?

Hi, I have a massive amount of folders and files on my Dropbox and I have been cleaning up file types that my print shop no longer uses. I have noticed that this has left the empty folders those file types where in scattered throughout. Is there a way to scan my entire Dropbox and delete empty folders without having to click through each folder and into the sub folders to find each empty folder? I hope that makes sense.

    Hey SewLucky, thanks for joining our Community.

     

    At the moment, there's no way to scan and bulk delete empty folders in your Dropbox account.

     

    You can, however, post this in our ideas section, for other users to up-vote!
