Empty / Corrupted file finder for Windows

This tool scans your computer for any files which are 0 bytes in size. Often a file that gets corrupted becomes 0 bytes.

Instructions:

  1. Download the compiled EXE and run it.
  2. Select the folder you'd like to scan, and if you'd like to scan sub-directories.
  3. Click the "Find zero byte files" button.
  4. If any 0 byte files are detected, a list will open up detailing them. Double click to go to them in explorer, right click to delete them or copy their path.

It is safe to ignore .txt files which are empty, but feel free to prune them if they seem like long-forgotten files.
