See also IPC::System::Simple, autodie, File::Find::Rule, unlink System "find '$dir' -size 0c | xargs rm" tags To write a perl script to make this work, it would look like: System "find '$dir' -size 0c | xargs rm"
In the opening Search Menu, set Size filter to Empty (0 KB) and check All subfolders option. # Remove all empty files in '$dir' and below. All you need to do is to configure filter for storage memory to zero byte, and select the needed empty folders to delete from the searching results.
HOW DO I DELETE A ZERO BYTE FILE HOW TO
If you need to do it from a Perl program, I would do: Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to find if a file is zero byte or not But I do not want to disturb the content of the file and. the excerpt from the post I would like to discuss is: I've seen the xargs version speed up an invocation of find by roughly an order of magnitude. To avoid this problem while using a USB drive, you just need to follow protocols to eject the drive from your machine. And so, your invocation becomes either find. After the USB drive usage completion, if you eject it without safely removing or following instructions of removing the drive from the computer, this can result in your USB flash drive showing 0 bytes problem. This may be a Linux-ism though, as I don't seem to remember this on Solaris. In looking at my local find man page, I see that find has a -delete option. If I try to delete it using file explorer, the entire file explorer just crashes and restarts. Even if it tries to do something like rename or modify it. In this case, we have a couple of options. The trend seems to be that the program instantly stops responding when it tries to touch the file. However, in the case of rm, the operation is very quick, so the converse is true. Which isn't bad if the process takes a long time the tiem spent in starting a new process is shadowed by the run time of the executable. The problem with exec is that it spawns a new process for every file that it finds. "-exec" is generally not the best idea unless you care that your command is executed on exactly one file at a time.
