If you are going through a list of files and passing them in, then you can use the ! -s options, ex if [ ! -s /mydir/myfile.txt ] to see if the file is zero size. Flagging them unsure, you could echo "DELETE" to the file or just delete them if the user doesn't want them right then. If you want the flag approach then you can go back later to see if the contents of the file says DELETE and if so delete them.
