Delete empty folders

Hi Cristobal,

After your "Move Entry" activity, you can insert a "Delete Entry" activity targeting the moved entry's original Parent Folder. In the "Delete Entry" properties pane, check the "Only delete empty folders" check box. In the below example, I use "Find Entry", "Move Entry", and then delete the "Find Entry" Parent Folder only if the Parent Folder is empty:

You might want to put the "Delete Entry" activity inside a "Conditional Sequence" to make sure that only the folders you want to delete are deleted.

Let me know if this work for you!

Alex,

That is what I have been doing in order to delete the parent folder for documents. I was wondering if in the future there was a way to merge the functionality of the three activities. If not I can continue to utilize this method.

Hi Cristobal,

I will take that as a feature request and send it to development. In the meantime, if you do not want to add "Delete Entry" after every "Move Entry", you can just create a separate workflow that monitors every "Entry Moved" action:

You can even run the workflow on the entry's original folder (check box at the bottom). This is clearly a powerful workflow, so you should probably add many specific starting rule conditions, as well as conditions on the "Delete Entry" activity itself.
