AQL or REST API Artifactory to remove empty folders

Question

I have to remove empty folders from Artifactory. The preferred way to do that was changing rules in AQL, but as far as I know, it's not possible to do it without removing non-empty Artifactory folders. I tried to add type rules as follow:

"type": {"$eq":"any"}

Also, I cannot add plugins to Artifactory API, so I can't use Empty Folder Clean-up
Finally, I was trying to use curl with REST API Artifactory to list all folders with paths and pull these that haven't any subfolders, something like:

curl -u "${username}":"$password" -X GET "<url>/artifactory/api/storage/<repo>/jenkins/artifacts?list&deep=1&listFolders=1" | jq '.file
s[].uri' | awk -F '"' '{ print $2 }' | awk -F '/' '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c

And remove folders that don't have subfolders (children). But I'm not sure that it's the best idea. Do you have some suggestions on how Could I do it better and more effectively? Or maybe some other ideas?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Answer 1

There is this User Plugin to delete the empty directories that you can use to remove the empty folders.

Answer 2

You can use the rm-empty JFrog CLI Plugin to remove empty folders from a specific path in Artifactory. The plugin is registered on the JFrog CLI Plugins Registry .
