Hi all,
I am looking for a freeware utility or perhaps something with a small price tag that can search a folder, and return a list of subfolders that do NOT contain a specific file type. So, I'm not looking to find files, but looking to find folders that don't contain something.
With the search results, I'd either delete or move them as a batch.
Ideas?
An issue with such a search is a Folder can hold a subFolder which can hold a subFolder of its own which can hold a subFolder, etc., all of which can be empty except each parent Folder will have at least 1 item in it.
In Google: powershell delete all empty folders ( is for free ��)

You can use the shareware XYplorer, which has a 30-day trial period. In version 14.80, it introduced the feature that you want:Find Containing Folders. Now you can list all folders containing a certain file or file type, files of a certain size or age, or with certain other properties. You can as well list all folders NOT containing such files.
Quicksearch - example with switch.
(You can just see the switch on the bottom - sorry, clipped the text)
