To list the files which will be erased:
Then to erase it:
BE VERY CAREFUL not to erase files unexpectedly or inadvertently and keep in mind that the "file" command is recursive... So adapt if the directories has sub-directories where you don't want to erase files.

To know more: "man find"

what the usage of |xargs /bin/rm -f ??

|xargs** says: "Take the results of the previous command and use them in the following command, as if they had been entered with the latter."


**I don't think you can have xargs without a pipe (|) feeding it.

thx alot
