how to loop though sub folder to check if folder is empty - batch script?

Question

What I want to do:

write a batch script to do the following loop though all dir starting with "01-"... Check if "Pictures" folder is empty or not. skip rest folders If "Pictures" folder is Empty, than print path of empty "Pictures" folders.

Output Example:

MainFolder/01-Folder3/Pictures is empty

Structure of my folder:

1st lvl... Every thing inside my "MainFolder" 2nd lvl... all folders start with a number ex: 01, 02, 03, etc... 3rd lvl... There is folder called "Pictures"... in every 3rd lvl here is an example:

|>MainFolder |--->01-Folder1 |------->Pictures |----------->pic.png |----------->SubPicFolder |------->RandomFolder1 |------->RandomFolder2 |--->01-Folder2 |------->Pictures |----------->SubPicFolder |------->RandomFolder1 |--->01-Folder3 |------->Pictures |------->RandomFolder1 |--->02-Folder1 |------->Pictures |------->RandomFolder1 |------->RandomFolder1 

What I have tried?:

@echo off for /d /r %%A in ("Pictur*") do ( dir /a /b "%%~fA" 2>nul | findstr "^" >nul || echo %%~fA ) pause 

Problem with what I have tried:

This code does print all empty "Pictures" folder but issue is that it checks all the folder. I just want to check folder starting with "01-" and subfolder "Pictures". skip rest.

for dirname in `find ./ -type d | grep Pictures`; do if [ $(find $dirname -type f|wc -l) -eq 0 ]; then echo "$dirname is empty"; fi; done 

Replace find ./ with the find $RootDir for your search.
