Safer way to remove the files
Authored by: trhall on Nov 01, '02 12:27:30PM

You can use the find command to get rid of the files in the folder in a safer way. For the command listed in the tip, try something like:

cd Pictures
find . -type d -name "Originals" -exec rm -r {} \;

That should do the same thing, but in a little bit cleaner way.
