Searching Folders
This could be a very obvious question, but basically the background is I let
a program (itunes) sort out the folders and file names in the music file
folder on my computer. And it seems it only creates folders, and not delete
the ones it moved files out of which are now empty, I want to delete these
empty files. The problem is that I can’t sort by size because it doesn’t show
any size for the folders, firstly is there a way I can sort a bunch of
folders by the size of their content (please don’t tell me to click the
“size” tab because this is the problem, being simple minded maybe, it doesn’t
show a size for the folder contents). If this is confusing for the outside
observer to understand, I’m not too hot on explaining things, then is there a
way I can to a search to find folders with no content? So that I can delete
these? I am using "Windows Vista Premium".
