# rclone rmdirs
|
|
|
|
Remove empty directories under the path.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
This recursively removes any empty directories (including directories
|
|
that only contain empty directories), that it finds under the path.
|
|
The root path itself will also be removed if it is empty, unless
|
|
you supply the `--leave-root` flag.
|
|
|
|
Use command `rmdir` to delete just the empty directory
|
|
given by path, not recurse.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of
|
|
empty directories in. For example the `delete` command will
|
|
delete files but leave the directory structure (unless used with
|
|
option `--rmdirs`).
|
|
|
|
To delete a path and any objects in it, use `purge` command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone rmdirs remote:path [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-h, --help help for rmdirs
|
|
--leave-root Do not remove root directory if empty
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
