Straight-forward interface with no unnecessary bells & whistles. I love when an app does exactly what it claims to do & does so well—especially for a free app, Empty Folder Cleaner is unbelievably easy to use & highly effective 👌 Just click scan, then click delete. That's it! 5 seconds later you'll be notified of the total number of empty folders the app located & removed from your device. Mine is usually around 200. Just an awesome little app I appreciate having on my phone, thanks devs! 😊

Though it's designed not to touch folders with hidden files, could you please add an option to display folders with ONLY a '.nomedia' when scanning? I need to learn them and then I will handle them by myself. ***below is the previous review*** This app removes most empty folders and saves me a lot of time navigating through directories. It's especially useful when I connect my phone to computer to transfer files since I don't need to dig the things I want out from those annoying folders now.

It's so simple, yet so good. I don't think any other cleaning app, or even app, has come close to being as useful as EFC. I highly recommend this app to anyone who creates a lot of temporary folders, like me, and who usually have to spend hours trying to clean them up so they don't clutter your damn phone and makes it impossible to find what you want.
