Paul D. Walker updated an issue

Change By:	Paul D. Walker

When removing local extensions, the extension libraries are properly removed, but the extension subdirectories remain behind.

Over the lifetime of an xwiki installation results in a lot of empty directories being left behind, which is not ideal.

It would be nice if the Extension Tweak tool could remove the empty directories.

Alternatively, if the tool reported on the unnecessary empty directories, then the site administrator could remove them manually

Example after cleaning up old local libraries:
{quote}{{root@wikiv2:/var/lib/xwiki/data/extension/repository/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-logging-ui# ls}}
{{10%2E0 10%2E8%2E1 12%2E5%2E1 14%2E1 15%2E3}}
{{10%2E1 11%2E10%2E1 12%2E8 14%2E10%2E2 15%2E4}}
{{10%2E11%2E1 11%2E2 12%2E9 14%2E10%2E3 15%2E7}}
{{10%2E2 11%2E3 13%2E0 14%2E5 15%2E8}}
{{10%2E3 11%2E6%2E1 13%2E10 14%2E7 16%2E0%2E0}}
{{10%2E4 11%2E7 13%2E10%2E2 14%2E8}}
{{10%2E5 11%2E8%2E1 13%2E3 14%2E9}}
{{10%2E8 12%2E10 13%2E6 15%2E10%2E3}}
{quote}
All but the last directory is empty :
{quote}{{root@wikiv2:/var/lib/xwiki/data/extension/repository/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-logging-ui# ls -R}}
{{.:}}
{{10%2E0 10%2E8%2E1 12%2E5%2E1 14%2E1 15%2E3}}

While it may seem like a minor issue, these extra directories also impacts xwiki's startup time.
