I try to delete empty directories with this command : "/bin/find /path
-depth -type d -empty -execdir rmdir \{\} \;"
If the number of empty directories to remove greater than 3192, I have the
following message for the directories to remove remaining :
"Bad file descriptor"

If you change this to
/bin/find /path -depth -type d -empty -delete
