I need a script to delete empty subfolders

I have a main folder which have many subfolders; some are empty, others are not. I need a script to delete the empty subfolders keeping non-empty subfolders unchanged. Thanks in advance.

freeware console app (9x/me/NT4/2k/xp) that'll do it..
RmEmpty
http://www.otbsw.com/  (about 1/2 way down the page)
from the site's descrption...
A console mode utility that recursively deletes only empty folders.  Great for clearing out all those junk directories you have laying around.  Will NOT delete files, or folders that have files in them.  Only empty folders (or folders containing nothing but other empty folders) are removed.  [SCRIPT READY]

jagadeesh_motamarri - thank you - this is the "magic" bat script :

for /D /R . %a IN ( * ) DO rmdir /q "%a"

works perferctly !
