Album folders not deleted after a beet move or beet remove -d #28

Two seemingly related bugs regarding old folders being left behind after a beet move or a beet remove -d:

  1. With an album folder of music files accompanied by the artwork, log, cue, etc: runningbeet move moves both the music files and artwork and logs to the new folder directory structure, but the previous folder containing the album remains even though it is empty. The expected behavior would be for the empty previous album folder to be deleted.
  2. With an album folder of music files accompanied by the artwork, log, cue, etc: Running beet remove -don an album removes the music files but the artwork and logs are left behind and the old album folder is not deleted. The expected behavior would be for the artwork and logs to be deleted along with the music files when running beet remove -d

I have the same issue as point 1 when I beet mbsync. If the album gets moved to a new directory extrafiles runs at the end and moves the additional files, but then the empty original album directory is left behind.

I'm just curious if this is a defect in this plugin or Beets itself.
