Subject: Problem deleting empty folders in SD Maid SE

[SMOKESCREEN2]

Message:

Hello,

I would like to report a problem I am experiencing with SD Maid SE. Currently, when trying to delete empty folders using the application, I notice that it does not delete these folders automatically, as is the expected behavior.

This problem occurs consistently on the Xiaomi Redmi A2: when running cleaning and selecting the option to delete empty folders, SD Maid SE does not perform the action. However, the original SD Maid does not have this problem and empty folders are deleted normally.

Interestingly, the problem does not occur on my other device, the Huawei Y5 2019, where empty folders are deleted correctly.

Unfortunately, on Xiaomi Redmi A2, I am forced to delete empty folders manually, which compromises the app's functionality. I would like to know if this issue is a known bug or if there is anything I can do to fix or work around this error in SD Maid SE.

Thank you for your attention and I hope that this behavior will be corrected in a future update, as the functionality for deleting empty folders is one of the main reasons for using the application.

SD Maid Se: Version 1.3.6_rc0

Huawei Y5 2019:
OS:Android 9 EMUI 9.1.0

Xiaomi Redmi A2:
OS:Android 13 Go Edition MIUI 14

Does SD Maid not FIND them or not DELETE them?

Please provide some example paths of the empty folders and a debug log:
