Description
When v5.0.0 removes preview files of deleted images, empty preview folders (i.e. appdata_oci2qpw7ky44/preview/e/a/5/d/2/f/1) are left which consumes resources (i.e. inodes) unnecessarily.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the v5.0.0 code that removes preview files for deleted images and reproduce the example nested preview path. Done means removing empty preview directories while preserving directories that still contain files; add or update a regression test if the project has coverage for this cleanup.
