recursive directory iterator step-by-step delete problem

1)File shape



C:\FTP\2\3\99\100  There's a txt in 99.
C:\FTP\2\5\11\
C:\FTP\2\5\23\.txt
C:\FTP\2\.txt


2)Code



void OldDirectoryCleaner::CleanOldFilesRecursive(boost::filesystem::path TopPath)
{
try
{
LogS << "Scanning " << TopPath.generic_string() << " >> ";
if (boost::filesystem::exists(TopPath))
{
boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator PathIter{ TopPath };

while (PathIter != boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator{} && *PathIter !=TopPath)
{
boost::filesystem::path RemovePath = boost::filesystem::path(*PathIter);
bool RemoveSuccess = false;
try
{
if (boost::filesystem::is_directory(PathIter->status()))
{
if (boost::filesystem::is_empty(*PathIter))
{
try
{
LogS << " Deleting empty old folder " << RemovePath.generic_string();
boost::filesystem::remove(RemovePath);
RemoveSuccess = true;
LogS << "Success. ";
}
catch (...)
{
LogS << "Error. ";
}
}

}

}
catch (...) {}

if (!RemoveSuccess)
{
PathIter++;
}

else
{
boost::filesystem::path RemovePath = boost::filesystem::path(*PathIter);
PathIter = boost::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator{ RemovePath.parent_path() };
boost::filesystem::path x = RemovePath.parent_path();

}


3) output steps



RemovePath  C:\FTP\2  
RemovePath C:\FTP\2\3
RemovePath C:\FTP\2\3\99
RemovePath C:\FTP\2\3\99\100 deleted.
RemovePath C:\FTP\2\3\99\.txt" } after this It's getting out of the loop.


why not check and delete other empty files?
