Empty integrated application folders not removed after backup deleted

Scenario

When a client backup is made from UltraTax CS or Fixed Assets CS to FileCabinet CS, a corresponding period folder is created within the drawer for that application. When the documents are deleted from the folder and the backup remains, the folder will appear in the drawer with no contents.
Example
If a backup is made from UltraTax CS for a 1040 client, the UltraTax CS 12/31/19 folder is created, if it does not already exist. If you had previously added documents that you no longer want to this folder, you remove those documents and notice the empty 12/31/19 folder remains.

Solution

The data backup for the drawer will need to be deleted.
  1. Choose
    Help
    Repair
    .
  2. On the
    Drawer
     tab, select the desired drawer.
  3. Select
    Delete Data Backups
    .
Once the data backup is deleted, the folder should disappear if no other documents are associated with it. If the folder exists with no documents associated with it, and no data backups associated with it, right-click the folder and choose
Delete Folder
.
note
This option only exists if no documents or data backups are associated with the folder.
