rm Argument list too long 2018-07-24 03:58

When I use rm *.log -rf to delete the files I got the following error message.

bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long

This message means that there are too many files to delete. I use find commands to delete these files instead.

find /home/work/log/ -name *.log -delete

You can also use xargs to delete files. Following command will delete all files in current directory directly.

ls | xargs rm
