Removes files and dirs lilsted by the tar tf command. Errors may occur because of dirs deleted before children.

Useful if your Docker host starts running out of disk space due to Docker debris. You should start by running "sudo docker ps" in order to check that all required containers are in fact running, and fix any that aren't before proceeding to the main event! "sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -q -f status=exited)" removes all containers which are no longer running. "sudo docker rmi $(sudo docker images -q -f dangling=true)" removes all Docker images not required for currently running containers.

I needed to find a command to delete huge numbers of files without intensive cpu load, that command does the job :) The purpose of "+" at then end of the line, tells rm to delete multiple files at once

Very useful to get rid of backup files or wrong extension files that lure in your folders In this example first I do two searches for all filenames of the two extensions .jpg and .png, then delete the extension and only output the now duplicate files. I loop with these results and print a log and delete the file with the extension I dislike. Show Sample Output

remove all files in /home/ folder that starts with bk_all_dbProdSlave and not created in the last 2 days

Will delete empty directories and sub-directories (hideen too = whose names are starting with dot .). Used 'rm' command instead of 'rmdir' to give the possibility of asking for confirmation before deleting i.e. it is not wise do delete all empty directories in /etc folder. Replace dot in 'find .' with any for other starting directory instead of current. in 'rm -i -R' 'i' stands for ask before delete and 'R' for delete folder recursively or folder itself if it is empty

This runs a command continuously, restarting it if it exits. Sort of a poor man's daemontools. Useful for running servers from the command line instead of inittab.

Some malicious program appends a iframe or script tag to you web pages on some server, use this command to clean them in batch.

man find: If no paths are given, the current directory is used. - Can anybody tell me why so many people are typing the dot?

This is a slight variation of an existing submission, but uses regular expression to look for files instead. This makes it vastly more versatile, and one can easily verify the files to be kept by running ls | egrep "[REGULAR EXPRESSION]"

The thunderbird message datastores get corrupt some times causing random failures, compaction to fail and general suck in thunderbird. Removing them causes thunderbird to rebuild the indexes and makes things quick again.
