Without any doubt the answer in "True"
 
Empty path is the root ("/") path.  On windows and mac this is an imaginary folder that contains all the hard drives as subdirectories. On linux, this is the root / directory.

Side note : what happens if you launch "Delete Recursive function" with an empty path as input :-o, be carefull !
