James is right! The original implementation recursed down on empty
folders and deleted them - ofter a bit too much. As I though no one
would bother I simply commented out the code. If this causes any
problems I will find another solution. Actually, this should be simple...

All they will do is take up space in the inode table/FAT and make
searching
for a particular directory slower over time as the number of defunct
directories builds up. Does deleting the defunct directory break the
implementation in some other way??

I believe this is how it is designed. See attached..

Subject: Deleting collection leaves physical dirs in place?
Hi,
Has anyone else seen a problem where deleting a collection will delete
all
the metadata for the collection and delete the files under that
collection
but not the physical directory structure itself? I'm using Slide
2.1M1 and
using both the CLI and my application have found that the recursive
delete
of a collection seems to only half-work. To reproduce create a collection
with the CLI then drop a file under it. Delete the collection. An "ls"
command from the CLI will show that the collection and its children have
been deleted but looking at the physical filesystem shows that the
collection structure has not been deleted although the files within have.
I'm using a combination of stores with the TX filesystem for the
contentstore and a JDBC store for every other store type.
Thanks,
Warwick
