Linux RM Delete large batch files

When using RM to delete a large batch of files, it is possible to encounter the problem of "parameter column too Long" (Argument list too long). As shown below

[Email protected] bdump]$ rm-v epps_q001_*

-bash:/bin/rm:argument list too long

See how many of these files are in total, as shown below, with a total of 8,348 files

[Email protected] bdump]$ LS-LRT epps_q001_* | Wc-l

-bash:/bin/ls:argument list too long

0

"Epps_q001_*" | Wc-l

8438

You can solve this problem by Xargs command at this time. As shown below:

"Epps_q001_*" | Xargs Rm-r
