delete directories recursively on Mac terminal
I want to delete directories recursively on Mac terminal; directories are named ".picasaoriginals". I tried rm -r .picasaoriginals
, but it does not do it.
What is the correct command?
Here is the command that worked:
find . -iname '.picasaoriginals' -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
From this link,
find . -type d -name .picasaoriginals -exec rmdir {} \;
To delete the files within the directories as well, use the -delete
flag instead of -exec rmdir {} \;
