　　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 N days ago File

　　LINUX Bulk Delete files by Time ( delete N days ago file )

The code is as follows

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

　　Help Display Help

　　–version displaying version information
