A must-have! I wouldn't ask for any change or improvement - it's perfect. Very quick, simple, yet offers a lot of configuration options for people who needs customized search. I used it with a variety of directory names, including non-latin alphabets and there were no problems. There are internal safeguards to ensure that nothing will go wrong. I find hard to believe reviews saying it doesn't work. Apparently there are some files inside (hidden/system files?) or maybe filesystem needs checking. I used for years on different PCs, OSes with variety of options and it always worked.

AllDup is a duplicate FILES finder, not an empty folders finder

Doesn't work. I mean the software starts, but it doesn't find any of the empty folders I was hoping it would.
2011 is now 9 years ago.
Have you retried it since then ?

Finds empty directories, but only 0kb ones.
Windows has empty directories of several kb due to "protected operating system files"
Want to delete folders in my music dir, from when I migrated from itunes
It would be weird if the tool named remove EMPTY directories would remove directories that aren't empty, wouldn't it?

I've moved a couple of workstations up to Windows 8 Pro/64bit and it is still a champ for me.
Use RED2 on all my PC's (ranging from XP Pro/SP3 to Win7 Ultimate) and only had 1 problem, ever. That was when I had a directory with really unusual attributes. When I corrected the attributes, worked like a champ.
Just a message to say that RED has been updated on feb. 2011. It is now compatible with Vista & Windows 7 so you won't have to do what is suggested in endolith's message.
