[Guest]

Is there a way to search for empty folders in a directory?
Thanks.

How Can I List All the Empty Folders on a Specified Drive?

But note that "empty folders" is NOT the same as "folders with a size of 0
bytes". A folder with a size of 0 bytes can contain other folders with again
more subfolders and so on, and it and any of the subfolders can contain
empty files. Such a folder is by no means empty.

With XYplorer it's very easy to recognize all truly empty folders, since
they are displayed with a size "-" whereas 0-byte folders are displayed with
a size "0".

Thanks for the info, Donald.
Sub-folders...Yes
But never thought about the 0-byte files.
