Windows 10: identify folders with no contents

Hi,I am wondering if there is a way to hide folders or have some notification that there is no contents within them in windows explorer.We have a default structure of folders that we copy and rename for new projects and within, there are multiple folders below folders.Once the project is completed we go through and delete/register everything. Although it is painful have to drill down through every folder.Q: Is there a way to identify folders that are empty quickly and efficiently, I am aware about right clicking and properties although that seems to take longer then sifting through the folders

:)

 

Moved a folder from another drive and rename and it still shows as the old folder name in certain places

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.

Regards,

 

how to print list of contents in a folder?

The Source drive is 2 TB, formatted in 2 partitions.

What I want to do is copy & paste (or move) the contents of a drive to another 1 TB drive,

to prepare for changing the size of the first partition on the Source drive.

I also want to do this a few megabytes at a time (instead of several GB) to allow for personal breaks. (instead of 23 hours)

My steps so far:

1.

a. choose a folder or a folder within a folder, then - b.
print the list of folders (and or files) in that selected folder.

Then,

c. choose a folder (on a different drive on the same machine), then - d.
Print the list of contents on that drive

e. Visually compare the lists (I don't want to lose any files.)

2.

Having found the "remaining items" on Disk one,

f. select some and copy - g. view the proper folder on Disk two - h. Paste

3.

Repeat 1 & 2, until the partition on Disk One is empty

4. When the steps above are completed,

i Delete the partition on Disk One - j. Expand the other partition on Disk One to the whole disk

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
