How to bulk delete empty files ( Files of size equal to 0 ) under Linux
The code is as follows
Find. -name "*"-type f-size 0c | Xargs-n 1 rm-f
You can also delete a file of the specified size, as long as you modify the corresponding -size parameter, for example:
The code is as follows
Find. -name "*"-type f-size 1024c | Xargs-n 1 rm-f
is to delete files of 1k size. ( but be careful not to use -size 1k, this gets to occupy space 1k, not file size 1k ).
If you just delete the folder or the name of the connection, you can change the -type parameters, specific details see man find

Delete Files completely
Sometimes we have to completely delete some files, you can use the Shred command to implement,shred is a part of the coreutils , so Linux basically will have this command.
Shred How to delete files completely :
The code is as follows
$ shred-u File
Shred will overwrite the node and data block where the file resides with some random content, and delete the file (-u parameter ).
If you want to clear a bit more thoroughly you can add the- z parameter, which means to fill with random data, and then fill it with 0 .
The code is as follows
$ shred-u-Z File
In addition Shred can also clear the entire partition or disk, such as to completely clear the contents of the /DEV/SDB1 partition can be :
$ SHRED/DEV/SDB1 ( note Do not add- u parameter )
Detailed parameters of the shred :
-F,--force Change permissions allow Write ( if necessary )
-N ,--iterations=n rewrite n times, default is 3 times
--random-source=file reading data from a specified file
- S,--size=n the file to a fixed size ( suffixes such as K,M,C , etc. can be used )
-U,--remove truncate and remove files after rewriting
-V,--verbose Show Progress
-Z,--zero-add with 0 coverage Data
