Empty directories cannot be deleted

Post by Jammes »

I transferred a number of directories to another directory and after that the original directories are empty in MediaMonkey but cannot be deleted. When I rescan the root directory it still shows the empty sub-directories. In Windows Explorer the directories do not exist.

Can someone give me a solution to delete the empty directories?

Do you still see this on the latest MediaMonkey 5.1 beta? It should've been fixed.

I installed both MediaMonkey_5.1.0.2829_Debug.exe and MediaMonkey_5.1.0.2829.exe. After rescanning the directory with the empty sub-directories. Unfortunately the empty sub-directories still are not deleted.

Can you try to run Optimize database from File > Maintain library. Database maintenance solved it for another user.

Thank your for this solution. It works and now MM shows only the directories that have content. Great service and in so short notice. Thanks.
