When deleting the last episode or movie file that exists in a folder using the UI, the option should exist to also delete the empty folder(s). To help keep library folders clean of unused directories. Thanks! ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[Request/Bug\] Delete movie folder](https://forums.plex.tv/t/request-bug-delete-movie-folder/119226): > > Currently when deleting a movie in PHT or Plexweb it only deletes the movie file. I have my movies in separate folders so I can add posters & trailers and stuff. So now I have to manually delete the folders which takes a lot of time. Would be nice and logical if it also deletes the containing folder with the same name. ---
