Hi, any news on this? My last run of RED deleted over 800 empty directories, so it would help if they were not created in the first place

No luck. Folder content was still copied. Folder name contains the word cache, file names do not. Edit: To test I created a small folder and file structure and only added that mask to the task. I tested again with the regex I previously used and it worked, I think I did not properly test it before, ...

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get Cobian Reflector to ignore folders based on keywords. I'm using the below mask and regex: cache, *cache, cache*, *cache* Cache, *Cache, Cache*, *Cache* ^.*cache.*$ ^.*Cache.*$ However, cache folders are still being backed up. Any help to prevent...

Thanks

This used to be deleted in 1.1.5. Would you add a separate option for that? Since a lot of empty directories with no data is confusing.

They are not being deleted.

I checked for hidden files and system files, there's nothing in the folder. RED (Remove Empty Directories)(configured to ignore any folder with any file) detects them as empty.

I think there's a misunderstanding of the issue here. I'm referring to the parent folder created by Cobian Reflector (example "Documents 2023-01-13 19;00;23"). The empty subfolders are deleted, but the empty parent folder created to contain the backup is not. I tested it in another local directory (...
