Finding Empty Directories With Bash
Posted by Bob Weber on Mar 26th, 2007 in CLI, find, Tech | 0 comments
Needed to find some empty directories today, so I ran a google search and found this excellent example of using find to locate (and delete) empty directories.
find -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;
Actually, all I wanted was this:
find -depth -type d -empty
Parameters are as follows:
-depth — start at the deepest point
-type d — limit to directories
-empty — find empty directories
