Delete Empty feature from FGDB in Arcgis Pro

Good Day,

One of the scripts i use is:

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = r"C:\Temp\Test.gdb"
listFCs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*")
for fc in listFCs:
count1 = str(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc))
if count1 == "0":
arcpy.Delete_management(fc)

In arcgis pro this scripts is giving my this error

I now use the count tool to NOT copy features in the first place (this is even better) but it bugs my why it did not work (did not get a error in the analyse tool)

greetings Peter

It seems you are asking, "why doesn't this work?" Seeing this thread is marked as a discussion, not a question, and you don't ask a specific question; I am not sure sure what kind of response you expect or will get here. If this is in fact a question, marking it so will get more attention.

Assuming this is a question, it would help to have some more information before I try to provide an answer. What version of Pro are you using? Did this code work with ArcMap/ArcCatalog? If so, which version? You stated, "did not get a error in the analyse tool," could you elaborate a bit more on which tool. There is an Analysis toolbox , but it has quite a few tools in it. Finally, what exactly is "not_empty_feature_1?"

Your right i wrongly put this in as a discussion and it meant it as a question although i do not ask it it seems. The question now is how do i change this discussion to a question. For now i will open a question and try to to ask it as clear as possible.
