This is going to take a long, long, long time. and you are still using 2 programs to do deletions, so it is going to take a long time. if you do not have them removed by now, i suggest you follow what i wrote in other post of 'Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 08:15:45 +0000'. you can prove this by opening a virtual terminal and run 'df' at a 1 min intervals with your current 'find/rm'. after about 5 displays 'df', <ctrl+c> to end your 'find/rm', then do a drag and drop of; rm -fR [0-9]*;rm -fR [a-l]*;rm -fR [m-z]*;rm -fR [A-L]*;rm -fR [M-Z]* into a virtual terminal and run it. from a 2nd vt, run 'df' as above and you should see a greater size change. only problem you will have, as i mentioned before, you may have to change to span within the '[ ]'. you can set up a 'for i' loop and pass 0-9, A-Z, a-z as $i, 'rm -fR [$i]*'. and if you like, you can add 'df /dev/sdx', 'x' being drive/partition that files are on and see that you are deleting. one note of reasoning, if there are several hundred/thousand of files that start with '$i' you may need a double loop '[$i$j]' to get files with out have 'too many files' error. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
