rclone: rclone move does not delete empty folders

for testing:

create the following structure:

  • Foo (folder)
    • file.mkv
  • other_file.mkv

after using rclone move, i ended up with the following structure:

  • Foo (folder) - empty

IMO, Foo folder should be removed!

What is your rclone version (eg output from rclone -V) 1.37

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit) Linux and OSX

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive) from local to dropbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp) rclone move ~/Desktop/SYNC dropbox:dekstop/sync --transfers=4 --stats=2s -v

I’m taking this up, if it’s not a problem @ncw

@ishuah that would be great - thanks 😃

This has been an issue for a long time. Same issue with rclone copy. Why are new releases being made without such a critical thing being fixed? The program is hardly usable the way it is…
