Rclone sync doesn’t delete empty folders

Help and Support
1

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue where empty folders created, synced, and then deleted from the source are still left on the destination.
I'm using rclone with a crypted folder on a Swift backend.
After syncing files, any empty folders created during the sync process remain on the destination, even after the source is cleaned up.
Thanks
