Nick Craig-Wood 7060777d1d docs: fix hugo warning: found no layout file for "html" for kind "term"
Hugo has been making this warning for a while

WARN found no layout file for "html" for kind "term": You should
create a template file which matches Hugo Layouts Lookup Rules for
this combination.

This turned out to be the addition of the `groups:` keyword to the
command frontmatter. Hugo is doing something with this keyword though
this isn't documented in the frontmatter documentation.

The fix was removing the `groups:` keyword from the frontmatter since
it was never used by hugo.

rclone rmdirs Remove empty directories under the path. v1.35

rclone rmdirs

Remove empty directories under the path.

Synopsis

This recursively removes any empty directories (including directories that only contain empty directories), that it finds under the path. The root path itself will also be removed if it is empty, unless you supply the --leave-root flag.

Use command rmdir to delete just the empty directory given by path, not recurse.

This is useful for tidying up remotes that rclone has left a lot of empty directories in. For example the delete command will delete files but leave the directory structure (unless used with option --rmdirs).

This will delete --checkers directories concurrently so if you have thousands of empty directories consider increasing this number.

To delete a path and any objects in it, use the purge command.
