Add option to delete folder from disk if empty, not just from library

What problem do you see this solving?

When a folder is deleted from the library in Capture One, it is not deleted from the disk even if it is empty. To delete the folder from the disk, the user must take extra steps to go into explorer and delete the empty folder from there, this is time consuming and inconvenient. It would be much more convenient and quicker if it was possible to delete the folder straight from disk if it is empty or if the user wishes to force a delete of the folder. If the folder was not empty, Capture One could possibly show a warning or show a list of the files that are in the folder for delete confirmation.

When deleting images in Capture One, the user can press 'alt' to ensure the images are deleted from the disk, not just the library. A similar option should exist for empty folders. Folders and images should then be moved to the computer recycle bin, so in the worst case scenario they can still be retrieved if required.

If the folders are not also deleted from the computer directly, the empty folders can build up and clutter the computer over time, becoming disorganized and confusing.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Almost every time I delete a folder, not every time I use Captre One, but definitely when I am organising and moving folders, and it happens a lot in the sessions I am doing that. I rarely want to keep the folder on disk if I delete it when empty. If I could delete the folder in the library in Capture One and know it was also deleted on disk if empty, things would be much easier.
