Recursively delete all empty folders in a directory and child directories.

Package Exports

  • delete-empty

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (delete-empty) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

delete-empty NPM version NPM downloads Build Status

Recursively delete all empty folders in a directory and child directories.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install delete-empty --save

Usage

var deleteEmpty = require('delete-empty');

API

Given the following directory structure, the highlighted directories would be deleted.

foo/
└─┬ a/
- ├── aa/
  ├─┬ bb/
  │ └─┬ bbb/
  │   ├── one.txt
  │   └── two.txt
- ├─┬ cc/
- │ └── ccc/
- ├ b/
- └ c/

async

deleteEmpty('foo/', function(err, deleted) {
  console.log(deleted);
  //=> ['foo/aa/', 'foo/a/cc/', 'foo/b/', 'foo/c/']
});

sync

deleteEmpty.sync('foo/');

As with the async method, an array of deleted directories is returned, in case you want to log them out or provide some kind of feedback to the user.

var deleted = deleteEmpty.sync('foo/');
console.log(deleted);
//=> ['foo/aa/', 'foo/a/cc/', 'foo/b/', 'foo/c/']
