Empty Folders

I have my ebook library in a Folder that contains sub-folders by book name and those folders should contain the ebook.

However through various issues a lot of the subfolders are empty.

Is there a way to search for just the empty folders then mass delete them?

    Hey JustNeedssomehelp78 thanks for posting on our Community!
     

    Can you please clarify where exactly are you previewing the files and folders and send us a screenshot of how it looks on your end?

     

    As for searching only for empty folders, there's no way to do it on the website, but you may be able to achieve this on a computer using the computer's OS. 

     

    Keep me posted with any updates!
