Troubleshooting Bash script to delete files

On my Synology NAS I've written a bash script that is supposed to delete the junk files that windows creates:

#/bin/ash
find /volume2 -type f -name "Thumbs.db" -exec rm -f {} \;
find /volume2 -type f -name "desktop.ini" -exec rm -f {} \;
#find /volume2 -type d -empty -delete \;

This was to the best of my knowledge working fine until I added the now commented-out line to remove the empty folders after the files are deleted. Now despite not intentionally changing anything, the script is failing with 

find: missing argument to `-exec'

I'm sure I'm missing something incredibly obvious but please help, also I don't know why the last line didn't work either. I've read lots of threads on Stack with no joy.
