How to list the empty directories in Linux

Unknown | 22:37 |


 

The find command in Linux has an option called 'empty'. This option can be used to list empty regular files or empty directories.

e.g.

To list all the empty directories

$ find . -type d -empty

Output:

./dir1/praset
./salo/new/data5
./premoc/test1
