Delete all files that match a specific pattern. This is just find with -delete appended, so be careful!
Get your pattern working and returning the results you want before you use -delete.
# Files & directories:
$ find <path-to-search> -name '<pattern>' #-delete
# Files only:
$ find <path-to-search> -type f -name '<pattern>' #-delete
# Directories only:
$ find <path-to-search> -type d -name '<pattern>' #-delete
I'm a technology professional who's been passionate about computers since my Grandad introduced me to an Intel 386 back in the 90s when I was a kid. Those moments inspired a passion within for technology, and I've been playing around with anything with a circuit board ever since. Whenever I have a moment you can probably find me working on something computer-related, and this is where I like to write about those moments.
