 ====== How to remove empty folders ======
-''Tutorial under development''
+DropIt allows to perform several operations on your files. Sometimes they are minor features, but still useful. An example is the support to remove empty folders and subfolders.
-''>> using Size additional filter and “Scan subfolders and not try to process them” disabled''
+To do it you simply need to follow these steps.
+\\
+----
+===== Step 1 =====
+Uncheck "''Scan subfolders and not try to process them''" from DropIt Options (it is required, otherwise subfolders will be always scanned and not processed as items).
+Optionally check "''Ignore unassociated files/folders''" from DropIt Options (it is not required, but avoids the need to decide how to process other files).
+\\
+----
+===== Step 2 =====
+Create this association:
+Name: ''Remove Empty Subfolders''\\
+Rules: ''**''\\
+Additional Filters: ''Size < 1 byte''\\
+Action: ''Delete''\\
+Destination: ''Directly Remove''
+\\
+----
+===== Step 3 =====
+Drag-and-drop the main folder you want to scan, to remove included empty subfolders.
+Note that it will remove all subfolders //"smaller than 1 byte"//, so also if they include empty files and folders.
