Is this the Mac version of the command? The windows version seems to be in a different order. Plus, I can’t seem to find a setting for the empty folders on Windows. If know, could you share? Thanks.
This command results in
f:\>find /path/to/source/directory -emptyFIND: Invalid switch’ using the command line. Does anyone have a better way to find empty folders using CMD line or Powershell?
