When a package have been uninstalled, its directories are not removed, leaving a lot of empty directories on my computer.

The empty directories are:

• <MiKTeX Installation Location>/doc/<package path>
• <MiKTeX Installation Location>/source/<package path>

The rubbish directories are annoying, and I think they should be deleted when a package is uninstalled.

That happens with a multitude of software applications. To circumvent that problem, I use "Revo Uninstaller Pro" <https://www.revouninstaller.com/>. It will usually remove all of the remnants of a program; however, if you start it before installing an application, it will create a log file that it uses to remove 100% of the crud and left over registry entries.
