Check If a Folder Is Empty
Description
Check If a Folder Is Empty determines whether a specified folder contains any files or subfolders. Use this process entry when your process needs to verify folder state before proceeding — for example, confirming that an input folder has new files to process, checking that an output folder is clear before a new run, or validating that an archive folder was cleaned up successfully. It supports optional wildcard filtering to check for specific file types.
