Is there a fairly simple way to delete all of those files and directories we created in the โFiltering by Depthโ section of this tutorial?
Iโm still learning the basics of Linux, and a simple simple rm combined with rmdir will take quite a bit of timeโฆ Perhaps some sort of mv โtargetโ >> null approach?
@wizardware: You can:
<ul><li>delete ~/test completely by running <code>rm -r ~/test</code>; or</li> <li>delete all of the files/directories in ~/test by running <code>rm -r ~/test/</code>; or</li> <li>delete all of the files/directories in ~/test that start with <strong>level</strong> by running <code>rm -r ~/test/level</code>;</li></ul>
I think there is a typo in this section: http://d.pr/i/15yf3
It should have -type f and -type d respectively.
You can use KrojamSoft FilesSearch Tool, it helped me out on many cases. Hope this helped you out!
find -mindepth 4 -name file
find -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 3 -name file
The above need โfileโ to be changed to โfile1โ otherwise they get no hits
