You can look on Dwight's answer on thread "Archives are much slower than 
backup" back in January or the answer from David Smith on thread 
"Duplicate Archive Entries...and deleting them" in April 2002. You can 
search through list archives for the word "archdir".
In short - `cleanup archdir` might be the answer to your question.

        Subject:        Archive & Directory Retention


Hi,
I have a question regarding Folders/Directories retention when making
archive. The expiration works fine for files, but after retention I still
have the reference of the folders and no files inside. 
How can I automaticaly delete those archive, that content only folder with
no file ?

This solution is made to make Oracle Cold Backup thru scripts. And we want
to keep backup for specific days (15, 30, 180, 360 days).
