Hi, having just started my beets journey, my first import went well but upon review, I can see that I didn’t use the `clutter` option to help tidy up my source/download folder.
With that I’m mind, can I apply clutter retrospectively?

If not, is there a command I can use via the command line to achieve the same result ? I found this, to list any folder that has under 1 few mb in which suggests it’s got very few files, or nothing in…
`du -sm * | awk '$1 < 2'`
But can’t work out how to move them to a different folder. I tried this, which i cobbled together for a variety of other posts i saw - any help is appreciated,.
`du -sm * | awk '$1 < 2' -exec mv {} /share/Container/beetsV2/music/111my_empty_folders4 \;`
