How to delete temp directory (Ubuntu 14.04)
 
Hi Guys, Good day!

I'm trying to delete temp directory on my back up files for years of storage (Ubuntu 14.04)

Executing this command,
Code:
find -iname '*.tmp' -exec rm {} \;
Got this error,
Code:
rm: cannot remove ‘./FileServer_2010_2011_2012/2010/operations_2010/IT/MSIb7230.tmp’: Is a directory
I know I got wrong syntax, might someone share the correct command. :D

TIA & Regards,
