Remove files in subdirectories older than 1 day with Linux command
bash, linux, rm
Solution
No, `rm` without the `-r` flag does not remove directories.
It looks like you want to add some more filters:
- `-type f` to match only files
- `-name '*.jpeg'` to match only files ending with `.jpeg`
Lastly, instead of `-exec rm {} \;`, you could use the much simpler `-delete`.
Putting it together, this looks more appropriate for you:
find /path/to/files* -mtime +1 -type f -name '*.jpeg' -delete
Problem
I am honestly nowhere near to be a decent bash scripter, but I made a little research and found a command that seems to be useful ``` find /path/to/files* -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \; ``` The question is if this line will remove directories? Because I want to only remove files that are images (actually in a *.jpeg format)
