Find and remove multiple files
Under *nix operating system, there is a command to find files and folders, called the same way – find.
Are you tired of all the windows users browsing through images and creating “Thumbs.db” files?
Here is how you can remove these files with just one command:
find / -name "Thumbs.db"-exec rm -rf {} \; |
Explanation:
with this command, you tell the “find” program to look at the root directory (“/”) for files named “Thumbs.db” and execute on them “rm -rf <found filename with path>;”
Voila! No more windows image thumbnail databases!
