I'm sure this has been touched on many times prior... just cant seem to find a definitive answer when searching...

I have a rule set to auto move newly downloaded movies to a selected folder. All is well in that. The movies are moved based on name. However the containing folder (that the original movie was downloaded) is still left in the downloads folder. Im just wondering if there is a way to delete the original containing folder AFTER the initial naming rule is matched and completed?

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move if necessary.

You could try using a separate rule that removes empty folders. That's assuming the movie was the only file in the folder. Otherwise, you'd probably have to do some scripting to do what you want.
