I’ve found similar questions being answered, where the find command encounters errors deleting files. However, the most similar question with an answer on Stack Exchange is regarding the find -type d -exec rmdir {} ; command. People have recommended using the find command with -delete instead because the -delete option implies -depth, which has the find command use depth-first search to delete files.
That makes sense to me, but I am using the command people recommend find . -type d -empty -mtime +7 -delete to delete empty directories older than 7 days old. Yet, I still encounter the error No such file or directory.
Interestingly, when I go to the directories that do not exist, I cannot find them. Is it deleting the directories despite the error?
