All of its child folders had underestimated sizes, too. For example, a folder of photos was showing as about 10 GB instead of 100 GB. I haven’t seen zero-byte folders, but I have seen lots of incorrect folder sizes since updating to macOS 10.14. Why can’t it just say “calculating.”? Because it eventually seems to get it right (though I’m not sure of that). You might wait a looooooooooong time to see any display of the size.
This bug is particularly severe on hard drives (because they are slow) and when there is disk I/O going on. hard to not want to just trash the thing.
That’s a habit I have to unlearn: what if it was just one folder among many and Get Info also shows zero bytes.
Generally if I see a zero byte folder, I just delete it out of habit.
