AFAIK what you're asking for can't be done, as the checkbox in the dialog implies foobar will only automatically delete empty folders. No empty, no deletey. You'll have to delete these folders manually.

Hmmm, why would someone have .nfo and .sfv files in the first place? lalala.gif

U have "Lame 3.14159 -m s -cbr 192 -q 0 --lowpass 12 --resample 48" as a sig and u asking why I have sfv in the same folder? smile.gif

and I don't see why wouldn't it be possible, if fb2k have ability to delete files I would think it can do the same for the folder.

My sig is a joke. Poking fun at custom command lines in sigs.

I completely agree. It's certainly possible, it's just not implemented in foobar.

I have a nice collection of all my CDs that I ripped and also some downloads. 90% of the folders has also m3u+sfv+nfo and some has cover pics too.

in the current setup what I do is listening to the playlist, cd that i don't want to keep anymore I do File Operations>delete files

but then I need to go in Explorer and sort the directories by size and to delete all the 'too small to have mp3 in there' folders manually.

this sucks, and I hoped that maybe it's a simple checkbox or some easy code tweak that I can do to do it all from fb2k...

well maybe next release? smile.gif

This can probably be done with foo_run + tagz, but I'd personally try to watch out for a totalcommander solution. The search function (in addition with plugins) is very mighty.

I was actually first looking at TC as this tool makes 80% of the activity here.
would have been nice if in the advanced search I could have "Folder size<1MB" but that effective only for Files...

enligthen me how u do that in TC maybe?

Dirsizecalc, exactly. If that is enough for you finding dirs smaller than xy.

I use it for finding empty directories, because the tc sync function leaves empty directories.
