Description
Hello Team,
"if($items.Length -le 0) { Break;}" - This code line will break if ALL items in a batch are directories and the total length of a directory is zero. So the loop will not continue further.
**Right code:**
`$MaxReturn = 1000
$FileSystemName = "filesystem1"
$Total = 0
$Token = $Null
do
{
$items = Get-AzDataLakeGen2ChildItem -FileSystem $FileSystemName -Recurse -MaxCount $MaxReturn -ContinuationToken $Token
$Total += $items.Count
#if($items.Length -le 0) { Break;} #Wrong line of code
if($items.Count -le 0) { Break;} #right check
$Token = $items[$items.Count -1].ContinuationToken;
}
While ($Token -ne $Null)
Echo "Total $Total items in Filesystem $FileSystemName"`

Research direction
Open src/Storage/Storage.Management/help/Get-AzDataLakeGen2ChildItem.md and inspect Example 3's batching loop. Verify the termination check against the reported folder-only batch case; done means the example continues through batches when the returned items are directories and stops only when the collection count is zero.
