I have somehow got loads of empty folders within folders containing real files and i want to get rid of these empty folders but it will take me ages to do it one by one as I would have to open all the folders and look if there are any empty ones...is there a quicker way of doing it?

You can hold down command (the key with an apple on it) and click on all the folders you want to delete, then when they are all selected, drag them on to the trash and empty.

The other way would be to use the terminal...

So you can't just delete them, cause you don't know if they're empty or not right?

Then download the utility 'Whatsize': that will list files & folder depending on their size, select the ones right at the bottom (check their size is 0kb) and just delete those.
