Can I delete empty lost+found folders safely?

[Joey Mendez]

I recently converted some of my NTFS partition to EXT4. All the new EXT4 partitions have an empty lost+found folder. Can I delete them?

Yes, you can remove them -- they're probably empty, unless you've had some file system corruption.

I always delete mine and have never had a problem.
