Shell scripts recursively Delete empty folders

Shell scripts recursively Delete empty folders

Sometimes we need to recursively Delete empty folders. After searching for them online, we did not find a good Shell script, So we wrote

Script

#! /Bin/bash # author: a decade later, brother Lu (http://www.bkjia.com/) # des: delete empty directories recursivedeleteempty () {find ${1 :-.} -mindepth 1-maxdepth 1-type d | while read-r dir do if [[-z "$ (find" $ dir "-mindepth 1-type f) "]>/dev/null then echo" $ dir "rm-rf $ {dir} 2> &-& echo" Empty, Deleted! "| Echo" Delete error "fi if [-d $ {dir}] then deleteempty" $ dir "fi done} deleteempty

The script content is very simple, that is, traverse the directory, find the empty folder, and then delete it.

Use

If the script file is dedr. sh, the structure of the file we tested is:

Run the script:

# Sh dedr. sh

Deleted files:

Result:
