Do you consider a folder empty if it contains no files but other folders?

yes, in this particular case, since I need to know if some of these

subfolders contain files, so I can save them and delete the structure.

But being that complex, it involves much clicking to manually check all of

them

Re: How list all non-empty subfolders in a folder ?

 

Your reply is contradictory. I asked:

"Do you consider a folder empty if it contains no files but other folders?"

 

and you replied:

"Yes".

 

Then you imply that you DON'T consider them empty, because

they might contain files. Before I try to give you a solution

I need to know in no uncertain terms the answer to my

question.

Indeed not correctly stated

What I need to detect are folders that do contain files

 

If yes then i have to gather the files it contains

If no files and no subfolders then I can erase the folder

Re: How list all non-empty subfolders in a folder ?

 

You could run the following batch file. Make sure to copy

& paste it - do NOT retype it!

 

==============================

@echo off

Set Folder=D:\My Documents

 

rem Unwrap the lines below so that they

rem all start with the word "echo"!

 

echo Empty folder list:

echo > c:\TempVBS.vbs const FolderName = "%Folder%"

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Set objFSO =

CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs CheckFolder(FolderName)

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Sub CheckFolder(Name)

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Set folder = objFSO.GetFolder(Name)

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Set objFolders = folder.SubFolders

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Set objFiles = folder.Files

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs If objFolders.Count + objFiles.Count = 0 Then

WScript.Echo Name

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs For Each FldrName In objFolders

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs CheckFolder(FldrName)

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Next

echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs End Sub

 

rem The lines below this point do NOT start

rem with the word "echo"!

cscript //nologo c:\TempVBS.vbs

del c:\TempVBS.vbs
