How to remove those files after tar

Eileen · 05-04-2006, 01:02 AM

Hello,

I have this file XX.tar.gz. After unzip them using,
tar -zxvf XX.tar.gz, I have all other files and directories.

For example,

bin, src, lib ....

So what is the command to remove/delete them cleanly?
tar --delete ???

Can someone please teach me??
Thank you! =D

For example, hello.tar.gz

Is there an example called,

tar --delete hello

that can delete all those files and directories that have been unzipped
from hello.tar.gz?
