I have a task to clean up a large number of directories. I want to start at a directory and delete any sub-directories (no matter how deep) that contain no files (files will never be deleted, only directories). The starting directory will then be deleted if it contains no files or subdirectories. I was hoping someone could point me to some existing code for this rather than having to reinvent the wheel. I will be doing this using C#.
Using C# Code.
static void Main(string[] args) { processDirectory(@"c:\temp"); } private static void processDirectory(string startLocation) { foreach (var directory in Directory.GetDirectories(startLocation)) { processDirectory(directory); if (Directory.GetFiles(directory).Length == 0 && Directory.GetDirectories(directory).Length == 0) { Directory.Delete(directory, false); } } }
