Recursively Find And Delete Files

by Kyle on · Posted in

This command will recursively search for a file and remove it.

For example, if you wanted to delete all index.html files, you would do this:

find ./ -name 'index.html' -exec rm '{}' ';' -print

If you wanted to remove all files ending in .html, you would do this:

find ./ -name '*.html' -exec rm '{}' ';' -print

Save. Share. Submit.
