Objective
get_asset_paths tries to check whether a folder is empty, and if so delete it. However rather than checking whether any subfolder contains files it checks whether all subfolders have files.
Also cleanup various BoxedFutures in async recursive functions like these, rust 1.77 now allows recursive async functions (albeit still by boxing), hurray! This is a followup to #12550 (sorta). More BoxedFuture stuff can be removed now that rust 1.77 is out, which can use async recursive functions! This is mainly just cleaner code wise - the recursion still boxes the future so not much to win there.
PR is mainly whitespace changes so do disable whitespace diffs for easier review.
