find and delete empty folders

[RabbieBurns]

I'm looking for a script that will recursively search and delete any empty folders. Preferably bash or perl. I might be able to do it myself in bash, but Im not sure how to check for the empty folder?

Not really my area, having only limited experience of Linux (though I do use it as my home operating system) but this post might help you with the bash script.

bit of a bodge, rmdir should error if the dir isn't empty

 

find . -type d -exec rmdir {} \;
