--- Quote ---find /tmp/tcloop/"$APP" -type d | sed "s@\/tmp\/tcloop\/${APP}@@" | xargs rmdir
--- End quote ---
I haven't tested this code, but rmdir doesn't remove a directory if there's even a single file.

Can this command be made to work recursively? That is if an empty folder is deleted and the deletion causes the parent folder to be empty and so on can all the empty folders in sequence be deleted?

weird....I typed the exact same command into another terminal, and it worked.  The find was literally
producing "/"   instead of /dir/dir

Not easily, so rerunning it a couple times is an easy solution for recursion

You mean it works recursively as is? If so can you explain how?

curaga:
No, it doesn't work recursively, I just had to point out jpeters' well chosen words ;)
