Empty folders on replica target

Post by marius roma »

After using Veeam B&R for some years I see on the target replica site lots of empty or semi-empty folders.
The problem is related, I presume, with article https://www.veeam.com/kb1793
Is there any tool (maybe based on PowerShell?) to delete useless folders?
If not, is there any issue I should consider before starting deleting manually empty folders (maybe, empty folders used by VMware I should not delete)?
Regards

You can use PowerCLI (more specifically, Remove-Folder cmdlet) to do that.

Just check whether those folders are indeed empty and only then proceed with deletion.
