Empty directory contents
 

Hi,

I'm trying to ge the syntax right to remove files in a subdir with multiple subdirs, I don't want to delete the actual dirs, just the contents.

Cheers

Hi,
Here are a couple of examples. The first one gets rid of all files and next, you could just get rid of a certain type of file....

cd /home/tech
find . -type f -exec rm {} \;

or
cd /home/tech
find . -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec rm {} \;


You could also copy the directory structure to a new sub directory and take it from there....

cd /home/tech
find . -type d -exec mkdir -p /home/new/{} \;
