Put the below script in the directory in which you want to remove empty files (i.e. files with size zero)

#! /bin/bash
for x in *
do
    if [ -s $x ]
    then
        continue
    else
        rm -rf $x
    fi
done

 find ~ -empty

or

for i in *
do
if [ -s $i ]; then
echo "$i is a file and size is greater than zero."
else
echo "$i is an empty file and deleting now..."
rm -rf $i
fi
done

for i in *; do [ ! -s $i ] && rm -rf $i; done
