Ever try to delete files with unix shell find? Use the -delete option
command, find, shell, unix
Solution
Here's how to do it with the `-delete` option!
Use the find command option `-delete`:
find . -name '*.pyc' -delete
Of course, do try a dry run without the `-delete`, to see if you are going to delete what you want!!! Those computers do run so darn fast! ;-)
Problem
This has come up a number of times in posts, so I'm mentioning it as a thankyou to all helpful people on stackoverflow. Have you ever wanted to do a bunch of deletes from the command line/terminal in Unix? Perhaps you used a construct like ``` find . -name '*.pyc' -exec rm {} \; ``` Look to the answer for an elegant way to do this.
