Using "-exec command {} +" systax exits on any error. Such errors occur when running rmdir on a non-empty directory. Switch to "{} ;" syntax instead which avoids exiting before the find command is completed.
Fixes FS#48515.
Note, we can not use "-empty" in the find command because it is not supported by Busybox find, and the "--ignore-fail-on-non-empty" flag for rmdir is not available on BSD rmdir variants.

Shouldn't this be ';' or \; ? Otherwise, it has no meaning other than delimiting a command and find should fail on a syntax error...
