This post lists some free empty folder cleaner Android apps. With these apps, you can clean all empty folders in your phone or SD card storage. All the apps I have added here are very simple and after giving them storage access, you can wipe out all empty folders from your phone in one or two taps.

Cleaning and removing unnecessary files and folders is important on every device. Especially, you have to remove bank files and empty folders but they often create problems in search index. More number of empty folders result in more complex directory structure in storage. As a result, a search program will take more time because it has to traverse those paths. But if you remove empty folders from the disk then search program will work faster. However, it doesn’t mean you will have lightning fast access but it is one way to optimize search.
