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 for global options not listed here.
