Is it possible to delete all EMPTY layer filters?
I've already found 2 routine that can delete ALL named layer
filters, but
that's too much.

Lambertus -

Since one is my app, I can modify it so you can select the layer filters
to delete, but basically there is no such thing as a blank layer filter.
Saving the layer filter without any options still creates a 'non' empty
filter.

Mike,

You're right!
But what I mean is the result of the named layer filter(s).
If that's empty, the layer filter may be deleted/killed.

Yes, I am aware of what you mean. What you need to understand is that
the filters store the filtering criteria - not the collection of layers
that meet that filtering criteria. It might be possible to do what you
want, but, at the moment I am swamped at my day job [which is spilling
way over into my night hours]. To accommodate your request, I can
quickly change the app to allow you to individually select which ones to
remove until I have enough time to research and change the app to do the
specific functionality that you wish.

Okay!

I think you can make lots of CAD managers happy if you can change the app
the way we want.
Have a nice working day!
