When we have too many files in a directory, let's say thousands, we cannot rm -f * on them. The system says there are too many files. So, one must go through a tedious process of deleting by parts.
Is there a way to wipe them all at onde ?
To remove all files in all subdirectories do:
find /path/ -type f | xargs -n 50 rm
Thats much faster than 'find ...-exec...'
Cheers, Harry
