Re: Why is Android creating (garbage?) external sdcard directories?

The problem is that you think the SD card is yours to manage, while Android
thinks its his.  And I'm afraid that Android can out-stubborn you. :-( :-)
 
IOW, don't try to fight it, its not something you can win.
 
What you /could/ do is to, on the 'puter, write a bit of code/script that
will remove all empty (root) folders from the SD card.  A clean-up so to
speak.

That was a good way to put it, which is that Android owns that sdcard.
Not us.

The good news is I wiped out everything on the sdcard except the one
top-level folder that I had created on it just after formatting it.

And it still worked.

The Android garbage folders came back though, as you implied they would.

Android owns that card. Not me. :->
