Windows Media Player (& my own stupidity) strike again!

I've got, or rather make that had about 20G of music (mostly wma) saved on a Win2K machine in our game room.

I had shared the "My Music" folder on that PC out to the network and then mapped it as a network drive on my office PC (XP Home, SP2).

Then I told Media Player that it should use the M: drive as the media library.

Now, I don't know what the heck I did, and really doesn't matter anymore, but somehow while playing around in Media Player on my office PC I managed to delete over 80% of the music files from the server PC downstairs... :censored:

I have almost all of it on CD buried somewhere, and it was probably time to re-rip a lot of it anyway as some of the files were starting to 'skip' regardless of which PC I was using to play them - even the PC they were stored on.

Unfortunately everything I had mp3 (borrowed, downloaded, etc) is now gone.

Can anybody reccomend a good, FREE program that will go through and automatically delete empty folders?

I already ran a search and deleted the desktop.ini and album art files from ALL of the folders. So , "YES" the folders that the missing music was in really are empty now.

I'm just looking for a method of identifying and then deleting empty folders within a specified folder.

TIA!
