How can I remove empty paths from a zip file?

How can I remove empty paths from a zip file? I have a zip file that contains a empty path, which I want to be rid of. How can I clear it, while maintaining the rest of the zip? When I open the item in winzip I cannot see the empty file, but upon extracting it, the empty path is created.

"In older versions of WinZip, the empty folder names aren't shown, however, we can change that :)

Open up the registry editor to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip
Add a string value called ShowDirEntries (Right-click -> New -> String Value) and then set to 1.

You should now see the entries in WinZip and be able to delete them from within WinZip."

Open the Zip file with Total Commander, highlight the empty folder and press F8 to delete it.
