find directories

I am looking a script which will find garbase directories (10 char. long)..which need to delete empty dir excluding symlink and system directories.
I tried this partial script but it just find directories create a file which contains link directories..can somebody help me to complete this scripts.

!#/usr/bin/sh

for dir in $(find / -type d -name '??????????')
do ll $dir | grep ^l > /home/user/linklist
if [ ls $dir eq 0 ] then rmdir $dir # not sure abt this line
done
