In Office 365, when sub folders of the Inbox of their mailbox are moved to the Online Archive, it leaves the Folder/Subfolder empty in the mailbox.
Can that folder be purged without affecting the Online archive? A
nd if so, how can I purge empty sub folders via PowerShell in O365?

Stack Overflow is not a code writing service, it's expected that you attempt to code this yourself. I would suggest you do some research on your issue (maybe try the search box at the top of the page) and make an attempt at writing some code yourself. If/when you come across any issues with your code, ask again and explain what you have tried, and why it did not work for you. See How to Ask for help with asking a good question.

Welcome to Stack Overflow! Other users marked your question for low quality and need for improvement. I re-worded/formatted your input to make it easier to read/understand. Please review my changes to ensure they reflect your intentions. But I think your question is still not answerable. You should edit your question now, to include your own efforts (see help me is not a question ). Feel free to drop me a comment in case you have further questions or feedback for me.
