Can/should i delete empty folders in the Data folder for Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE?

[DanielC10]

Vortex doesn't seem to delete the folders after i uninstall a mod (i don't know if that's the same for other mod managers or if it's a Vortex-specific thing) so my Data folder for both Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE is full of empty folders/subfolders (with only the "__folder_managed_by_vortex" file inside), is it safe to delete those or is it possible that some mods intentionally leave/need empty folders to work properly?

If you purge these will be removed.

what do you gain from deleting them?

Nothing, really, it's just that i don't like knowingly having a messy Data folder if i can avoid that
