image Why does it use so many resources for a simple task?

I decided to kill the process after it grew to 750 mb. image

Can you show some code on how you're using delete-empty and also, if you're specifying a large directory of files/folder or one that is deeply nested, there could be a lot of memory usage.

I'm using the CLI in a large folder by running delete-empty .

I guess it may be better if we can

  1. Avoid collecting all empty folders in the empty array
  2. Switch to opendir API.

Is that an option for this project?

Closing since this library was refactored and this may no longer be applicable.
