You coukd check which ones are owned by packages. rpm -qf will show
the package that owns a file or directory. You probably don't want to
delete those.
So I could run this every 6 month .
find ~/ -mtime 180 -type d -empty > empty.list \
&& rpm -qf $(cat empty.list)
To automate it you'd need to tweak the script. rpm -qf will tell you the
package(s) that own the directories or warning messages for those that
aren't owned. I don't know that it returns a status, so you'd probably
want to pipe the output through grep and check its status. And you'd need
to do this one file at a time.
Also note that using cat on a command line isn't going to work well for file
names that have spaces in them. You'd probably want to use find's -exec
test to run the final test script as that can hand off file names without
having them parsed by the shell.
