Many empty folders after changes

Hi!

I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I'm struggling to find a post asking this exact question.

I switched from Kindle to Kobo which finally was my impetus to go through and update/organize my Calibre library. I had several instances of the same author having different folders due to the name being formatted differently i.e., "Tolkien, J. R. R.," "JRR Tolkien," J.R.R. Tolkien," etc. After changing the author name in Calibre and getting everything on a standardized format, I now have many empty folders from the old name formats. In the above example, I standardized on "J. R. R. Tolkien" which contains all the files for each book and now all the folders with other variations are empty.

My assumption is that it is not good to manually delete the folders. Do I use the library management tool? If so, does the library management tool consider just an empty folder an issue that it would flag?

Thanks!
