Addition to Deep Scan

[ROCKNROLLKID]

An option to scan for 0 byte files and empty folders. I see empty folders and 0 bytes files all around my system. It would be nice to have a cleaning rule to clean these out, or to have a tab section to detect and remove 0 byte files and empty folders if it would be safer to do it like that.

Tab section?

Yes. Like its own section for detecting 0 byte and empty folders.

Does "tab section" mean a checkbox, or how is that different than a regular cleaning rule?

There so many applications for Linux and Windows, and I am concerned some of them create empty files or folders as place holders, semaphores, or for other reasons. For example, Firefox creates an empty .parentlock file

On Linux you can find them like this
find ~ -size 0

On Windows
forfiles /c "cmd /c if @fsize==0 echo @file"

By tab section I mean it's own section, like how CCleaner has a tab section for their duplicate file cleaner. Your explanation is why I recommended, if you do this, to not add it as a cleaning rule (e.g. checkbox).
