Tweaking Rule Help Needed

I have a running rule that trashes any empty folders it sees in my Downloads folder.
Problem is, I have occasional need to create a new folder there, but it usually gets trashed before I can fill it.
Any way to except newly created files, or perhaps delay the trashing for a bit? Thanks.
