How can I delete infinite recurring sub-folders from archive

I have 3 mailboxes that were apparently corrupted when archived. They contained an infintie loop of recurring subfolders which were archived into the vault. Is there a way to delete these subfolders ...

    correct, sorry if that wasn't clear from above.  You need to use the DeleteEmptyFolders registry key.

Yeah but what that script you're referencing does is remove empty physical folders on an EV Partition where the DVS files are held

like

V:\Enterprise Vault Stores\VaultStore1\Ptn1\2014\01-01\A\12\

If that folder is empty, then it deletes the folder, can help in some circumstances where file performance is impacted by enumurating empty folders

However what you have is empty archive folders which is entirely different and not covered by that utility
