Because of a problem I had with data transfer a while back, I now have hundreds of empty files in Dropbox. When I tried to find and delete them all in Terminal, I can't because of a lack of permission. How can I find and delete all empty files in my Dropbox account?

Hi @esmewang, on our end there isn't, but I'll definitely keep this thread open.

 

That way, if any other user has any suggestions, or third-party apps that can do this, they can share them with you.

 

Thank you!
