Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

I think current algorithm does not remove parent of empty child collection on single attempt. One more attempt to
Remove empty Collectionswill delete this parent(if it's empty).I misunderstood the logic initially. So far this seems intended behavior. @Imaginer , do you want to mention something (or want to correct my words)?
I can add that, if more collections and objects this work in more unpredictable way - leaving randomly collections or something like this.
@ManBlender , great! Before submitting the patch I think Ryan's call will be useful.
From the screenshots I can see that it's working as intended. If you look at the tooltip it says that it will remove any collections that don't have objects and do not contain any subcollections. If you check the before screenshot, the two collections that are left both contain subcollections, and so aren't empty. To remove all collections that don't contain objects (regardless of whether they have subcollections or not) use
Purge All Collections Without Objects(if that doesn't clear them, then that's a bug ;) ).Thanks for using the Collection Manager @ManBlender. :)

@Imaginer , thanks for the clarification :)
Closing the task. thanks again for the report!
@PratikPB2123 Welcome :)
Ok, I understand now. I not included the situation that clicking many times
Remove empty Collectionsdeleting child like recursion process, by this I recognized the random.Thx for explanation.
@ManBlender
Your welcome. :)
Yes, you can achieve the same result as
Purge All Collections Without Objectsby clickingRemove Empty Collectionsmultiple times. I received feedback that it was important to have both options, so both are included :)
