[Python] How can I detect "sparse"/download-on-demand files on Windows with Python?

I have a question, I have files on disk created by Dropbox as files which are downloaded on demand. I uninstalled dropbox, but files were left on disk. I can see them in folder structure, I can see them with their sizes and other attributes in file explorer.

When I check properties of file, I can see that file has 0 bytes size on disk, i.e. it is in fact not stored on drive at all.

Is there a way in python how to detect those files so that I can delete them all?

All functions in python I know will provide you with size of file only, i.e. size which you can see in attributes. But not real size on disk.

Added 31MAR2025 17:49: As I mentioned above, with python functions like os.path.getsize() or os.stat() I get size which is 895420bytes, but I need to get 0 as Size on disk.

Many thanks
