find(1) can also find empty directories and delete them: $ find DIR -type d -empty -delete FWIW: -delete implies -depth. If one wants to see what empty directories have been found (and get deleted), just put a -print in there: $ find DIR -type d -empty -print -delete The above works with GNU find (as both -empty and -delete are GNU extensions).
