How do I delete files in bulk on Ubuntu?
You can use the following command in Ubuntu to delete files in bulk:
- Use the ‘cd’ command to enter the directory where the file to be deleted is located.
- Use the ls command to list all files and folders in the current directory to make sure the files you want to delete are included.
- To delete all files using the rm command along with the wildcard *, you can use the following command: for example, to delete all files ending in .txt.
rm *.txt
- He is running late.
rm -r *
Please note that this command will delete all files and subdirectories in the current directory, so please use it with caution.
- She’s running late.
rm -f *.txt
This command will silently delete all files ending with .txt.
Please be cautious when using the rm command to delete files, as they cannot be recovered once deleted. Make sure that the files you are deleting are the ones you want to delete, and that no important files are accidentally deleted.
