Run Command Tool - Windows Power shell script

I am trying to run a powershell command that deletes empty folders from a specified file path. Is there a way to make the filepath an input for the powershell script so I can easily switch between file paths?

Yes you can by building an app and use a Folder Browse Interface tool.

I have a sample workflow that does that - attached.

It's a workflow with a batch macro that encapsulate my command line in resaving a bunch of excels.

By adding a Folder Browse tool to my Directory tool in the workflow, it will be prompted as an app for use to pick their directory.

Is this similar to what you are looking for?
