Deleting multiple directories(same name) in Linux [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17050902

Question

My team uses CVS. For some reason I need to create a shell script which deletes all folders with the name CVS(those who have worked on it might understand) present in my local copy. Consider the super directory as ABC. ABC has different directories in it , which in turn contain directories named CVS.

Was it helpful?

Solution

little change on previous answer:

find /path/to/ABC -type d -name "CVS" -exec rm -fdr {} \;

OTHER TIPS

Try this:

find /path/to/ABC -type d -name "CVS" -delete
