Utility to remove files that are 0kb

Hi Guys,

I recently used R-Studio to recover media files from a failing hard drive. I've got lots of data recovered, much of it is usable, but there are quite a few files where the filename and path are there, but the actual files are 0kb. I've had this happen before when recovering data, and I'm not worried as most of the files were recovered okay.

Rather than me going through and manually deleting the files that didn't recover properly, does anyone know of a utility that I can use to scan the drive and automatically remove any files that are 0kb?

Thanks for any help,

Jay

Windows XP - Win Explorer ->Advanced search option can find file within a certain range...Then you just highlight and delete away.
