Empty Directories

JV power tools is telling me that I have a gillion empty directories. When I check them out, they sure enough are empty (the end file, that is). So shall I delete these empty directories? Or are they going to be used later? Or do I pick and choose which ones?
Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks, but here is a sample of these directories - there are 259 of them! These all have nothing in the folder at the end of them.

Has the system created other files to take their place? Seems like some of these would be important!

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\WINDOWS\system, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dhcp, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\disdn, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\OEMUSB, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\export, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\IME\CINTLGNT, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\IME\PINTLGNT, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\IME\TINTLGNT, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Iosubsys, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 8\DswMedia, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 8\Prefs, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\update, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mui\dispspec, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\NtmsData\Export, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\html\ispsgnup, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\html\oemcust, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\html\oemhw, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\sample, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ShellExt, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\mof\bad, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\mof\good, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\snmp, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wins, -
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xircom, -
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\InstallTemp, -
C:\WUTemp, H
C:\Compaq\Features\Help, -
C:\Compaq\Features\Media, -
C:\Compaq\quickenu\iguide\guide\guide_files, -
C:\Compaq\quickenu\iguide\IQ_FILES, -
C:\Compaq\quickenu\iguide\QR_FILES, -
C:\Config.Msi, HS
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Help, -
and there are lots more! That one
C:\WUTemp
has me baffled!

 

Here's something I need to clarify - they don't take up ANY space on the harddrive if they are empty? I didn't know that, but makes sense to leave them alone, then. Except for very obvious ones.

So glad you ran that comparison - yours are empty too? Must be part of Windows, then. Here's sort of a related question. If you ran SystemFileChecker, would windows replace those folders if you had deleted them, or just do that with files?

Learning more every day and I really appreciate all your help! Thanks so much.
