remove empty folders after a sandboxed installation has completed

Often, when any given application's installer is run in a Sandboxie sandbox, numerous standard Windows folders will be recreated in the sandbox.

These folders are completely empty and seem to have nothing to do with the installed application.

To keep the sandbox more organized, it would be good if there was an option for Sandboxie to (a) remove empty folders after such an app installation is complete, or even (b) to suppress this behavior, if it's possible.

For example, when installing a Blue Cat audio utility, the below-listed empty folders are created in the sandbox:


drive\<folders for each drive in the system>
drive\C\Program Files\Common Files
drive\C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
drive\C\Users
drive\C\WINDOWS
user\all\Microsoft\<26 folders>
user\all\regid.1991-06.com.microsoft
user\all\SoftwareDistribution
user\all\ssh
user\all\USOPrivate
user\all\USOShared
user\current\AppData
user\current\Desktop
user\current\Documents
user\current\Downloads
user\current\Favorites
user\current\Links
user\current\Music
user\current\Pictures
user\current\Saved Games
user\current\Videos
user\public\Desktop
user\oublic\Documents
user\oublic\Downloads
user\oublic\Music
user\oublic\Pictures
