Find empty folders in subfolders with certain name?

Question

All the subfolders have the same folders with same names. I want to check which subfolders named dbound are empty in all the directories inside a main folder as in the example.

About half of the folders with that name are empty. How to find out which? I tried this:

from glob import glob

for i in  glob(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\files1' + '**/*/*/*', recursive=True):
    print (i)

    if os.listdir(i) == []:
        print ("Empty")

Answer 1

glob can return directories and files. Check if entry is a directory before testing it. And to test the name use os.path.basename

if os.path.basename(i) == "dbound" and os.path.isdir(i) and not os.listdir(i):
    print ("{} is Empty".format(i))

I would prefer os.walk (at least directories are filtered out, and files are ignored):

for root,dirs,files in os.walk(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\files1'):
   for d in dirs:
       if d=="dbound" and not os.listdir(os.path.join(root,d)):
           print("empty dbound: {}".format(os.path.join(root,d)))

Both solutions work, but somehow are unsatisfactory because you're scanning the disk twice (glob/os.walk and os.listdir)

To avoid scanning twice, you'd have to store the result in dictionary/defaultdict and count the files in each dir, filter the ones with no file in it. More complex. Do it only if disk performance matters.
