Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There isn't really a good native solution for "remove all empty directories in this tree".
Describe the solution you'd like
A native rmdir state which can delete empty directories below a given root.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Usually this problem is solved with some Jinja gymnastics to find empty directories and pass to
file.absent, but that can be dangerous if the find operation is too broad asfile.absentessentially performs the equivalent ofrm -rfPlease Note
If this feature request would be considered a substantial change or addition, this should go through a SEP process here https://github.com/saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals, instead of a feature request.
