Powershell test if folder empty
If you are not interested in hidden or system files you can also use Test-Path
To see if it exists a file in directory .\temp
you can use :
Test-Path -Path .\temp\*
or shortly :
Test-Path .\temp\*
Try this...
$directoryInfo = Get-ChildItem C:\temp | Measure-Object
$directoryInfo.count #Returns the count of all of the objects in the directory
If $directoryInfo.count -eq 0
, then your directory is empty.
To prevent enumerating each file under c:\Temp (which can be time consuming), we can do somethings like this:
if((Get-ChildItem c:\temp\ -force | Select-Object -First 1 | Measure-Object).Count -eq 0)
{
# folder is empty
}
