Linux delete file with size 0 [duplicate]

This will delete all the files in a directory (and below) that are size zero.

find /tmp -size  0 -print -delete

If you just want a particular file;

if [ ! -s /tmp/foo ] ; then  rm /tmp/foofi

linux filesystems delete-file ls rm

you would want to use find:

 find . -size 0 -delete

linux filesystems delete-file ls rm

To search and delete empty files in the current directory and subdirectories:

find . -type f -empty -delete

-type f is necessary because also directories are marked to be of size zero.

The dot . (current directory) is the starting search directory. If you have GNU find (e.g. not Mac OS), you can omit it in this case:

find -type f -empty -delete

If no files to search are specified, the current directory (.) is used.
