If you want to get rid of empty ones, one way to do this in Unix is: find . -type d | xargs rmdir Notes: a) rmdir will refuse to delete non-empty dirs, so the above will likely spit out harmless warnings for non-emtpy dirs. b) spaces and whatnot in the names will break the above (how best/easiest to fix it depends partly on whether you're using GNU find or not). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/
