Deleting features with an empty output using iterate feature classes

I wonder if someone can help me. I want to create a model that will iterate datasets within a FGDB and delete all where there is an empty output, or whether someone could help with an initial batch clip iteration where any empty outputs generated are deleted. I have tried many ways in model builder but can't get it to work.

The model below is what I have for the former

this might help?

import arcpy workspace = "path/to/your/geodatabase.gdb" arcpy.env.workspace = workspace for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(): count = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc)[0]) if count == 0: arcpy.Delete_management(fc) print(f"Deleted empty feature class: {fc}")
