[QUOTE="rman, post: 620743, member: 23"] If I remember correctly if you dp the following: find / -name "*.vcf" It appears that nothing happens, but if you add find / -name "*.vcf" -print You will see the file you are looking for. You may need to do the following thou. sudo find / -name "*.vcf" -print Also like root suggested if you want to just delete the files then sudo find / - name "*.vcf" -exec rm -i {} \; I added the -i option to enable prompting for each file to be deleted.
