Sometimes we end up with many empty folders containing nothing but the next folder containing the actual files, is there an automated way you can think of to get to that data? Ideally even del the unnecessary folders along the tree?
Deleting empty folders is easy enough, but if you want to move folders up a level if their parents only contain one folder, and delete the parents afterwards, then there isn't a built-in way to do that.
You could do it using a script, however.
Where are the unwanted folder levels coming from? Are they from extracting archives? (Via Opus, or something else?) You might be able to prevent them happening so they don't need cleaning up.
yes they are coming from unpacking archives, using winrar to make/unpack, share to coworker, they do another pack and forward to another for their part.
