Find Empty Files and Directories from Command Line
If you are anything like me, you like to keep your projects as tight as possible. By "tight" I mean no lingering, useless files or directories, because bloat is an incredible annoyance and distraction. And we don't want distractions, do we?
There's a really easy way to find empty files and directories from the command line:

The result will be a list of empty files or directories which you can gloriously remove from your project and relax knowing you're running an incredibly tight ship.

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?
