Default Physically delete created extraction folders as well?

Assume I downloaded a videos which is packed into multiple parts.

After successful download the parts are concatenated and automatically decrypted and extracted.

During the extraction a new folder is created (and even more sometimes additional subfolders).

Later I right click the line on "Download" tab and select physical deletion (WITH stuff on hard disk).

It works. The files (!) are deleted. But the created folders remain.

How can I tell JD to delete the new folders as well from hard disk?

JDownloader does only create folders if the archive contains them.
When you move the extracted files manually to different location, you have to cleanup that folder. JDownloader does not delete non empty folders if it is not the default download folder.
Can you provide example links? I cannot reproduce the *empty* subfolder issue.

Yes, the archive contains (oftentimes folders).
No, I let JDownloader extract download (multi-parts) package to the default directory
Example Link:


select a 410MB archive from share-online.biz

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce any issue.
The archive contains a subfolder + file . no empty subfolder.
JDownloader does not *know* about the created subfolder by extraction and doesn't delete it on file removal. You have to do such cleanup yourself when you move the file to different location.
