Solved how to see blank/empty folders without a 3rd party software

Hi,

Can i see empty folders from command prompt? Is there any command to use ?

Thanks in advance

The "dir /ah" command will list all hidden files and folders.

if there are any blank or empty folders on your drive, they won't be a problem and they aren't wasting any space as they are empty.

i would advise leaving them alone, unless you have any extra information?

Not sure if there is a way to find the empty folders from the command prompt, but you can find the total size of a folder (including sub folders) using the 'dir /s <folder name>' command.

There is a tool from Microsoft that gives you the disk space usage for a folder and also sub folders.
