Delete all files from within a directory that contain a specific word

debugcn Published at Dev

I have navigated to a specific directory on the file system and wish to delete all files within the directory that contain 'sofa_' in their file name.

Can someone please suggest how this can be done?

terdon

If all files are in the same directory (no subdirectories) just run:

rm *sofa_*

If you need this to descend into subdirectories, either use find:

find . -name "*sofa_*" -type f -delete

Or, if you are using bash, enable the globstar option which makes ** match all files and 0 or more subdirectories (making it recursive):

shopt -s globstar

Then:

rm **/*sofa_*
