How to delete a folder?

When I right click on a folder and click delete, Lightroom correctly deletes all pictures in the folder, removes the folder from the library, but leaves empty folder in the file system. Is there a way to make Lightroom delete the folder? I'm not deleting just the pictures, I'm right clicking on the folder and selecting delete.
Thank you.

That's the expected behavior, and it's the same in the beta 2 version. Both Mac and Doze have the ability to have empties removed if this is a big problem for you.
If I am removing a lot of images- as in all of them in a folder, I'll just select one, hit Cmd-R, which takes me to it in the Finder, and then Delete the whole shebang there.

  • How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )

    How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )
    Who can teach me? Thanks a lot.

    The edited photo album is where the recipes for the edits you made are stored. The Edited folder is created and removed automatically by iPhoto for iOS. It will disappear when there are no edited photos.
    If you want to remove the edited photos go to each photo and select revert to Original. That will delete the edited version. Once all edited photos have been Reversted to their original version, the Edited Photos album will disappear.
    Of course the next time you edit a photo the album will return.
    Note that the Edited Photos album only shows in iPhoto for iOS. It does not appear in the Photos app.

  • How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    How to delete photostream folder from camera roll on iphone 4

    Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows. If to be included with the next firmware update and a fellow user is privileged to this info in advance, they aren't allowed to say.
    If you didn't want a photo or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the first place, why did you transfer the photo or photos? And since you should be syncing your iPhone with iTunes often, what difference does it make? If you need space on your iPhone for some reason, you can delete a movie direct from your iPhond that was transferred from your iTunes library to free up much more space with a single swipe than a few photos that you chose to be transferred from your computer.

  • How to delete a folder in Documents To Go.

    I've created a folder in Documents To called Song Lyrics. In that folder I have several 100 songs with lyrics. Now I want to delete the folder but there is no delete button. I can delete each song individually but that doesn't delete the folder itself. How can I delete the folder?

    I'm no expert when it comes to Docs To Go but I'm wondering if pressing and holding the folder for a second or two will bring up a Delete option. Just a thought.
    Cheers.

  • How to delete the folder VOLUMES on the main drive?

    Leopard creates a folder called Volumes on the root with aliases to external hard disks. I can delete the folder but as soon as I connect to the local network server, the folder Volumes appears again with an alias to the hard disk in the server. How do I permanently delete this folder? My Dock grid list is totally ruined by this folder. I was used to 5 folders on the root. Now it's six and I don't want that. I never had this annoying folder and I didnt do anything except for the 10.5.4 update. I also have no file or folder sharing active. The Volume folder also (re)appears when I connect an external USB disk. pls help

    A problem I have with this folder is that although it is an alias, sometimes when I do file transfers (such as receiving large amounts of photographs via pando etc.), as well as downloading the file to the external drive, as I have instructed it, is stashes the same file in the "Volumes" folder, and over time it can really start to eat away at the disc space. (I only recently discovered this recently and was this able to free up about 12 GB of disk space). I am pretty sure this is abnormal behavior for this folder, but I don't have any idea where to look to find what the problem is. Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can stop it doing it? It isn't catastrophic, now that I know, because I can periodically go and clear it out, but the eroding disk space caused me lots of problems until I discovered that this is what was causing it.

  • How to delete a folder corrupted by a system crash?

    My laptop crashed part way through copying a large folder from the laptop hard drive to an external network drive. This folder now appears on the destination drive as greyed out, and when I try to delete it, the system says the operation cannot be completed because one file is still in use (presumably the file which was being copied when the crash happened).
    How can I delete this folder?

    The laptop is shutting down suddenly, I think because the hard drive is failing. When I run Disk Utility on it, there is no problem; so I think the issue is in the hardware.
    Restarting the destination drive helped but did not fully solve the issue. When I deleted the folder, it disappeared from view but the system reported that the operation could not be completed because a file was missing; and I can't give another folder the same name as the deleted folder (I re-copied the folder from the laptop). I have the same issue with two other folders which were corrupted in earlier crashes.

  • How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

    Hi all,
    I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
    DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
    DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
    DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
    SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112))  -- 7 days back date folder name
    SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
    SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
    --Print @cmd
    This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
    Thanks,
    Prasad R.

    I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
    Old method is
    declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
        set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
        EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
        EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER 
    Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist  system stored procedure
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
      RETURNS INT
    AS
    BEGIN
      DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
      EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
      RETURN @file_exists
    END
    GO
    -- test
    SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

  • How to delete a folder having "access is denied"

    sir my problem is: 
    i had created 3 folders "updates" ,  "mount" and "win8.1" and extracted the windows 8.1 image into win8.1 folder and msu files in "update" folder.
    using DISM command i have mounted it as:
    c:\>Dism  /mount-wim  /wimfile:c:\win8.1\sources\install.wim  /index:1  /mountdir:c:\mount  
    it is mounted successfully but suddenly my computer shut down and when i restarted the computer then i have deleted the win8.1 folder (also from recycle bin) now i am unable to delete the "mount" folder. 
    Is there any way to delete "mount" folder?

    What error message are you getting?
    If you login to windows you should be able to take ownership of the folder (assuming you have admin rights)
    right click the folder, select properties, select security, click advanced.  On the top of the tab will be the current owner and the option to change owner.  Take ownership  of the folder.  Delete folder

    Sorry about the earlier post.. If what you mean is 'Collection' then currently you can not delete it anyway..not even online.. Though you may be able to delete all the Places (Favourites) as mentioned above..

  • How to Delete Unwanted Folder from Favorites Sidebar in Finder?

    In the finder, by mistake I created a folder on the left side under the favorites category (you know along with Pictures, Music, Movies, Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Applications, Airdrop and All My Files)
    So far I've tried highlighting the untitled folder and hitting delete, tried dragging and dropping folder to desktop, and tried dragging folder to trash. None of these worked! Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Or at least has anyone else had this problem or if you're still confused I will try to clarify better, question may be little confusing.
    THANKS!

    Hold the Command key down and the drag it off the sidebar. A Puff of smoke will form and when you drop it that smoke will go Poof.
