Removing empty directories on the IFS

I just completed a full system save on a system and there were over a
million files in the IFS.

I now realise that the auto clean up was deleting files but not
directories.

I now find the -empty option on the find tool is not available in IBMi in
QSH

I have been using the find command as per the following example but it is
only deleting files;

find /home -path '/home/*'
-type f -name '*.*' -mtime +90 -exec rm {} \;


I read that I can use -type d for directories but I still have not been
able to get this to actually remove a directory.

I created the following directories

\test
\test\dir1
\test\dir1\file1.txt
\test\dir1\file2.txt

I then ran

find /test -path '/test/*'
-type f -name '*.*' -exec rm {} \;

And both of the files were deleted but the directories remained.

So I tried

find /test -path '/test/*'
-type d -name '*.*' -exec rm {} \;

And still the directories were not deleted.

System is V7R3 and PTF's updated 2 weeks ago.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Don
