What is DirClean in a nutshell?It's a little console application which can search through a directory tree and list any empty folders and delete them too if you wish. It's ideal for clearing out dead folders from your iTunes collections.
How Do I Use It?In a console window type "DirClean -h". This will display the DirClean help text and available options.
You should backup any folders before using DirClean on them just incase you issue an unintended command. I will not be held responsible for any deleted data.What are the available options?The available options are as follows: -
-h DISPLAY HELP
-i DIRECTORY TO START IN.
-r RECURSE DIRECTORIES.
-c LOG EMPTY DIRECTORIES TO CONSOLE.
-p PROMPT TO CONFIRM EACH DELETE.
-d DELETE EMPTY DIRECTORIES.
-e TREAT DIRECTORIES WITH ONLY HIDDEN FILES AS EMPTY.
-s SILENT, NO CONSOLE OUTPUT AND NO USER INTERACTION.
