0 KB "Conflicted Copy" files after cloning drive (robocopy) containing Dropbox folder.

Question

Hi all,
I just made a copy of my "D" drive (containing the D: \Dropbox folder, using Robocopy with the mir (mirror) command.
After fitting the new drove, Dropbox automatically recognised the folder, and has now re-sync'd and created a 0KB (conflicted copy) for every file in the Dropbox folder (and subdirectories).
Is there an automated way to delete all of these 0 KB files?
If I manually select more than 1,000 files, the "Delete" button greys out.
This is going to be a vey painful process. Thank you Dropbox.

Hey @Marvo, thanks for the speedy reply!

Do you notice this type of behavior inside your Dropbox folder?

Would you mind clarifying your OS, along with the Dropbox version you're using on your end?

Hi Megan,
Yes, the desktop app.
Simply put, I manually select 1,000 files, no problem.
If I select just one more file, the "Delete" button greys out.

Hey there, @Marvo, I hope you're doing well!

You mentioned that if you select more than 1K of files the "delete" button greys out. I'm assuming you're referring to the desktop app, right?

There's no automated way to delete all of these 0KB files unless you manually select them, but I'm trying to see why the option disappears when you do.

If you have any screenshots, feel free to send them my way. Thanks a bunch!
