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.

Re: Empty directories cannot be deleted
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.
