MacOS

At some point many months ago, I was converting .epub files to .pdb files -- which I read old Palm OS PDA -- and while I ended up with perfectly usable .pdb files, I also ended up with zero length .epub files.

I've just noticed the problem, because I was cleaning up the library (a total of over 3000 files, of which probably 300 or so have these zero length .epub files).

Yeah, the backups are the same. I don't use .epub except for converting to .pdb so hadn't noticed.

Can I find, and remove, the zero length .epub files in some way?

It's perfectly easy to see them with MacOS -- but I realize I shouldn't let the OS remove them. Or can I, and have Calibre forget about them or rebuild its record?
