SYNTAX
Remove-EmptyFolders [-Path] <String> [-Recurse] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

path will be removed, but you can optionally remove empty subfolders as well.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
Remove-EmptyFolders -Path 'C:\Temp'
Removes any empty folder under C:\Temp. For example, if C:\Temp\Empty is an

will not be removed.
Example 2
Remove-EmptyFolders -Path 'C:\Temp' -Recurse
Removes any empty folders under C:\Temp, including subfolders. For example, if
