Need to find all empty files and folders in current category, show their creation date and time, and delete them.
For finding and deleting I tried using:

Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

Same with files:

Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -empty -exec rm ;

But how with their names? Tried to use:

Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty;

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

But this gives only directories. Then i used this code:

Quote:find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec ls -l;
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

But it gives plenty more information.. Creation date is not saved on UNIX,
so I think date then file was last modified would better to write.. But how?
I can find for example files that were modified certain time ago..

Code:
find . -mtime -1 -print

But how to put it all together? What script would search current dirrectory for empty files and folders, delete them and show names and date (creation/edition) of those deleted files?
Any ideas?
