Hi @Navyareddy,

dirPath="D:\Arivazhagan\New Folder"
in If condition check the folder is empty or not.
If(Directory.GetFiles(dirPath).Length == 0 && Directory.GetDirectories(dirPath).Length == 0)

If return true Use Delete activity to delete the folder.

Hi @Navyareddy,

private static void processDirectory(string startLocation)
{
    foreach (var directory in Directory.GetDirectories(startLocation))
    {
        processDirectory(directory);
        if (Directory.GetFiles(directory).Length == 0 && 
            Directory.GetDirectories(directory).Length == 0)
        {
            Directory.Delete(directory, false);
        }
    }
}

Use code like this to delete all empty folder inside sub folders also.
