this script seems to do the trick..

https://www.altbinz.net/forum/help-5/alt-binz-scripts-the-code!/msg14262/#msg1426

didnt use it correctly the first time.

Is it not possible to implement this script into altbinz and enable it with a check box or something?

It's already implemented. Why it doesn't work for you OOB, we're no closer to understanding.

I think I'll fix for the next version debug log. I would really like to know what is happening.

This thread is a bit old, but I'm having the issue of empty folders not being removed as well. Has the cause been found yet and will it be solved? I can run some tests as well if needed.....

Hmm... somehow it seems to be working fine now. Empty folders are deleted nicely. Don't know what has changed. I'll wait and see. If the problem returns I will let you guys know. Will try to find some more details in that case too...

hello,  I also would like to say is not deleting empty folder nor is deleting par files or nzb etc...  it does delete archive files fine. I have it setup downloads to download folder than extract it to another folder on my desktop .


 I have read everything on this post still nothing.

Hey,

My delete empty folders never worked 100%- was hit and miss most of the time.

What did work for me, was the following:

I downloaded the new unrar.dll http://www.rarlab.com/rar/UnRARDLL.exe

made this awfull script to wait until altbinz starts and copy over the new unrar.dll:

cd\Program Files\AltBinz\
START altbinz.exe
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 13000 >NUL
copy /Y "c:\altbinz\unrar.dll" "C:\Documents and Settings\Downloads\Local Settings\Application Data\Alt.Binz\misc\"

I use davidq666's simple-clean-up.bat, but added one line extra to give my slow pc a chance to extract and move everything over.

PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 >NUL
del %1\*.nfo
del %1\*.jpg
del %1\*.png
del %1\*.sfv
del %1\*.srr
rd %1

Now my downloads extract 100% and the empty folders get deleted. Tested it with 5 different downloads.

I think adding the delay in the simple clean up script is whats doing the trick. The pc I use to download is quite old... a pentium 4, so it gives it a bit extra time to do whatever.
