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:
find /path/to/source/directory -empty
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.

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?
