I think you are right. Mp3tag doesn't remove folders. But it can merge two (or more) folders into one folder, thus acctually reduce the number of folders.  
But when I can't rename that folder (ex parent folder) in the same action group.

However, I can reach my goal, if I split it into two action groups:

Begin Action Group **&Ordner Umbenennen#Überordner weglassen (step &1)** 

Action #1  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **FOLDERNAME TEMP**  
_Formatstring:_ **%\_directory%**

 

Action #2  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **\_DIRECTORY**  
_Formatstring:_ **.\</b\>**

 

End Action Group **&Ordner Umbenennen#Überordner weglassen (step &1)** (2 Actions)

Begin Action Group **&Ordner Umbenennen#Überordner weglassen (step &2)** 

Action #1  
_Actiontype 5:_ **Format value**  
_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_:_ **\_DIRECTORY**  
_Formatstring:_ **%FOLDERNAME TEMP%**

 

Action #2  
_Actiontype 9:_ **Remove fields**  
_Fields to remove (semicolon separated):_ **FOLDERNAME TEMP**

 

End Action Group **&Ordner Umbenennen#Überordner weglassen (step &2)** (2 Actions)

My goal was to reach that with one action group and without temporary tag fields. But I think it's not possible
