Do not keep empty folders


Sometimes, when copying only certain types of files, some folders may be created without any files in them. Copywhiz allows you to remove all such empty folders so that you only have folders that matter.

Step 1: Open Advanced Settings

If you have selected files in Copywhiz using File Explorer (Windows Explorer), then go to the destination folder. Right-click inside the folder, choose Copywhiz → Paste Advanced to open the Copywhiz window and click on the 'Advanced Settings' button as shown in the picture below.
