How to delete specific files? [duplicate]
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. I have a directory with million of files named like this
master-stdout.log.20210801.024908
master-stdout.log.20210801.025524
master-stdout.log.20210801.064355
How can I delete all of master-stdout.log files?
You can do rm master-stdout.log.* (remember the *)
If you get Argument list too long there is to many files, but there is workarounds...
find . -name "master-stdout.log.*" -print0 | xargs -0 rm
