Description of my issue:

I have set up my back ups to run and upload to Google Drive. I use subdirectories. So I have the following:

/Root Folder/Company Folder

I have set up the following in the Post-processing engine:

/Root Folder/Company Folder/[DATE], [TIME], [HOST], [RANDOM]

I have set the Count quota to 3 and the box for Enable remote file quotas is checked. After the third back up the files inside the oldest folder [DATE], [TIME], [HOST], [RANDOM] are removed, but not the folder. Where do I set this to remove the folder [DATE], [TIME], [HOST], [RANDOM]?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I testing this script for deleting empty folders in Google Drive, and it works. Just go to https://script.google.com. Create a new project, a file, and paste the info below. The script runs for 6 minutes before it times out. I am planning to run it automatically on the first of each month. Hope others find this useful.

Thanks,

function delEmptyFolders() {
var folders = DriveApp.getFolders();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.create("folderslist");
while (folders.hasNext()) {
var folder = folders.next();
var files = folder.getFiles();
var childfolders = folder.getFolders();
var filecount = 0;
var foldercount = 0;
while (childfolders.hasNext()){
var childfolder = childfolders.next();
foldercount ++;
}
while (files.hasNext()){
var file = files.next();
filecount ++;
}
ss.appendRow([folder.getId(),folder.getName(),filecount, foldercount]);
if (filecount == 0 && foldercount == 0){
folder.setTrashed(true);
}
}
}
