Running find twice assuming that the hierarchy hasn't changed is a bad idea.

It would be a much better solution to delete the files when first encountered, while also printing them to a logfile. Afterwards, the emptiness of the logfile can be tested to determine if any files and were removed.

Alternatively, you can run find and collect matching filenames in a file. Test that file for emptiness. If not empty, rm each file listed.
