gm remove does not remove empty directories

[amtoine]

Describe the bug

when using gm remove empty parent directories are left there untouched.
this could break manual scripts that try to list stuff in the store...

How to reproduce

tk run --clean {
    gm update-cache
    gm clone https://github.com/amtoine/nu-git-manager --depth 1
    gm remove --no-confirm nu-git-manager

    print ($env.GIT_REPOS_HOME | path join "github.com/amtoine" | path exists)
    print ($env.GIT_REPOS_HOME | path join "github.com/amtoine" | ls $in | is-empty)
}

will print

true
true

Expected behavior

i expected gm remove to clean the empty mess and thus the repro snippet above to print false twice.

Agreed, it could be a for/try loop from the leaf to the root using rm since it does delete empty dir, and stop when it errors out
