Hiding subfolders with no content

I am very new to Windchill but familiar with other PDM software. We have a relatively "nested" standard folder structure for projects in order to capture all possible aspects of a typical construction project. Many of the subfolders are empty, which makes browsing for files and searching for old information very cumbersome.

Ideally, I think the folder structure should change to something with fewer child folders, but that is a long-term goal I have that will take some time/convincing.

Is there a way to 'hide' folders/subfolders that have no objects inside to make browsing in the table view easier? I see that one can create custom table views, but I don't see that file size or number of objects inside a folder is really an attribute/criteria that can be set to filter out.

Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
