[QUOTE="August, post: 1090635, member: 167245"] I had many files to delete from the desktop and I used this "rm" command and it worked great. Just wanted to add that I was able to delete thousands of files with the same extension all at once by using the asterix. E.g.: [FONT="Arial Black"][COLOR="Blue"]rm *.wav[/COLOR][/FONT] That would get rid of all files with the extension .wav regardless of their filename :) [/QUOTE]
