[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1293598, member: 110816"] Do this [CODE] # ls -l *.part [/CODE] If this shows you JUST the files you are interested in deleting, then follow with [CODE] # rm -rf *.part [/CODE] That should delete these files. You can also delete individual files by putting the file name is quotes, so it would be "August 28, 2011.pdf.part" for the first one.. If you get permission issues, you might have to prefix the above "rm -rf" command with "sudo", so it looks like "sudo rm -rf *.part".. [/QUOTE]
