My music has a bunch of folders that are empty but it will take forever to look at every single one. I want to search by size or someway that will make it easier to find and delete

Hello !
If you do want to delete all the empty folders only ! go to Computer and at the top right click on search. Click on kind and Select folder, now click again on search and click on size, select 0 and click on search.
This should list all the empty folders

For some reason this doesn't seem to work. It's only finding compressed folders. I tried it on the root of a non-system drive I have installed, which contains several folders of various sizes. No matter what size I defined for type=folder, it only found compressed folders; it never returned any of the normal folders that exist on that drive.
Any suggestions as to why this might be?
Thanks,

This only lists all of my directories. It does not show the empty ones at all.
This is clunky but I found "dir /os /s > test.txt" worked.
It is tedious looking through a notepad file but after the directory lists all of your folders first, but it showed folders s and subdirectories in which the files were = to 0 bytes.
