Automatically determine whether a folder is empty. If it is an empty folder, delete it!

for /l %%a in (1,1,3) do for/r %%i in (.) do rd %%~si

Let me see if there are any errors.

Can it be used in LJ file cleaning?

%%~zi=0 means 0 bytes i

It is to use the characteristics of the rd command. When deleting a 0-byte folder, it will not prompt an error.

Removing "|:\" means the current drive letter.

Replace "|:\" with your own path.

Thanks!

For example: You want to delete empty folders under the C drive:
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad /s "c:\"^|sort /r') do rd "%%a" 2>nul

You want to delete empty folders under the D drive:
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad /s "d:\"^|sort /r') do rd "%%a" 2>nul

Why does changing the

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad /s "E:\"^|sort /r') do rd "%%a" 2>nul

to:

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad /s "E:\"^|sort /r') do echo "%%a">>空文件夹菜单.txt

result in all folders being written to the notepad?

I could be the one

'dir /b /ad /s "E:\"^|sort /r'



will list all folders. As for why it only deletes empty folders and not non-empty ones



it is because of the characteristic of the rd command. When deleting an empty folder, it does not prompt



When the /Q parameter is not added, the rd command will prompt an error message when deleting a non-empty folder.

'dir /b /ad /s "E:\"^|sort /r'

This command is used to list all folder names (with /ad) under and in subdirectories (/s) of drive E:

/ad specifies to print folder names

Then assign the folder name to %%a

2>nul

means to write the error commands when executing the rd "%%a" command to the null device (that is, no feedback is needed)

Changing it to echo "%%a" >>aaa.txt

Of course, it is to write the system feedback when deleting empty files to aaa.txt

Because %%a is the folder name
