get-childitem get subdir name append on script directory path

Question

I am trying to write a PS script to find empty dirs in a directory specified by the parameter. The "empty dirs" should not contain any files and subdirs.

This is the script:

    param (
[parameter (mandatory=$true,position=0)]
[string]$Path
)
$dirInfo = get-childitem $Path -recurse | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True} | % {get-childitem $_} | Measure-Object 
$dirInfo | ? {$dirInfo.count -eq 0} |  Select-Object Fullname

When I run it on "C:\documents folder" I got the following error:

**get-childitem : Cannot find path 'C:\Documents\ManualScripts\accounts' because it does not exist.
At C:\Documents\ManualScripts\Check-no-file-and-subdir-dir.ps1:5 char:79
+ $dirInfo = get-childitem $Path -recurse | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True} | % {ge ...
+                                                                               ~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Documents\ManualScripts\accounts:String) [Get-ChildItem], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand**

And a lot of this similar errors for each of the subfolders under C:\documents. It append the dir where the script itself is located (C:\Documents\ManualScripts) to the subdir name.

Have done my research and still can not figure out. Any input appreciated. Thanks:)

After the above post, I made some changes on the script but is still not work so far:

param (
[parameter (mandatory=$true,position=0)]
[string]$Path
)

$Dirs = Get-ChildItem $Path -recurse | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True} | ForEach-Object -Process {$_.FullName}  #get list of all directories with whole path

foreach ($Dir in $Dirs) {
$emptyDir = Get-ChildItem $Dir | Measure | where {$_.Count -eq 0} | select-Object
}

Before going to bed, I believe I makes a little progress. And the script looks like this right now:

param (
[parameter (mandatory=$true,position=0)]
[string]$Path
)
$Dirs = Get-ChildItem $Path -recurse | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True} | ForEach-Object -Process {$_.FullName}  #get list of all directories with whole path
#$Dirs | ForEach-Object {Get-ChildItem $_} | ForEach-Object {measure} | where {$_.Count -eq 0} | Select-Object $Dirs 
ForEach ($Dir in $Dirs) {
$emptyDir = Get-ChildItem $Dir | Measure | where {$_.Count -eq 0} | Select-Object
$emptyDir
}

If I run the there is something in output (Although is not what I expect)

PS C:\Documents\ManualScripts> .\Check-no-file-and-subdir-dir-rev01.ps1
cmdlet Check-no-file-and-subdir-dir-rev01.ps1 at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Path: C:\documents


Count    : 0
Average  : 
Sum      : 
Maximum  : 
Minimum  : 
Property : 

Count    : 0
Average  : 
Sum      : 
Maximum  : 
Minimum  : 
Property : 
......
......

Something like "Select-Object" picks the output of "measure" not the names of the dirs whose have no files/subdirs underneath.

Give this a try:

Get-ChildItem $Path -Recurse -Force | 
Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer -and (Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -Force | Measure-Object).Count -eq 0}
