Cleanup of clubs without members?
Empty clubs don't cause any issues. That said, they're not truly empty, it's just that all members accounts are closed
The problem is that these zombie clubs take club names which could be taken if they were removed.
If that's an issue, contact Support and request the closed club name

They're not causing issues but they don't serve any purpose?
The clubs without members are probably just a subset of the many clubs that are dormant, many of which still have members ...
It looks like Chess.com does not remove clubs without members. Here are a few examples of clubs with zero members (not even an admin):
- The Cult of Catherine Koslowski,
- Dilapidated Destroyers (DHLC Slow Swiss Team),
- Omega Point (I accidentally found one former member, bronsteinitz, who closed their account in 2013).
It shouldn't be difficult for Chess.com to find those "zombie clubs" and delete them.
Yes, Im probably late to this but I get what you mean by that, usually people who close their account never close their own club, All of the clubs that are ghost towns are piling up, this could be a big issue for people who want members in their club.
