Deleting all the files using rm does not work and returns parameter list too long

If a simple rm *.* does not work and returns “parameter list too long”, there is a way around this. Change directories to the /data13/savance/exports directory. Then you should run the following command: find . -name "*.*" -exec rm {} \; This will remove all the files in the working directory and get around the “parameter list too long” error that comes up when too many files are in a directory. | |
