命令行递归删除匹配的文件和目录

Posted 2021-02-26

# This searches recursively for all directories (-type d) in the hierarchy starting at "." (current directory), and finds those whose name is '.svn'; the list of the found directories is then fed to rm -rf for removal.
 
find . -name '.svn' -type d | xargs rm -rf
 
# If you want to try it out, try
 
find . -name '.svn' -type d | xargs echo
 
# This should provide you with a list of all the directories which would be recursively deleted.
 
==================================
 
# Another way is: 
 
find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} ;
 
#Try something like this first to do a dry run:
 
find . -name ".svn" -exec echo {} ;
 
#Note that the empty braces get filled in with the file names and the escaped semicolon ends the command that is executed (starting after the "-exec").
