3 months later - still not fixed. I accidentally removed access to external storage SD card and there's no easy way to restore it. App won't let me select the whole SD drive, insisting on selecting a folder (braindead). Why would I want to just cleanup 1 folder!! Then when none is selected app REMOVES the external storage from Android so no other, smarter apps that were already using it can see it. Clearly this is untested highschool project quality software.
You'll need this as it's a rare app that doesn't try to scan you or subject you to an overflow advertising. If more apps just worked and didn't spam ads or try to scam the playstore would be much more well off. I'm happy this app isn't an insult to have used.
My first review in a very long time and I award "Empty Folder Cleaner" 5++ stars!! This small application eliminated over one hundred empty folders and their residual garbage in less than Five minutes, from download to completion. That is something that several highly rated, updated, big named apps have failed to do. Thank you and well done to this developer!!! (other developer's should take notice because I would pay hard earned money for results like this)
