Linux Argument list too long error resolution method

Today you need to delete all the files in the/tmp directory, the number of files is more.

ls-lt/tmp | wc-l385412

After using RM * , the system prompts for error Argument list too long

The reason is that under Linux, trying to pass too many parameters to a system command (LS *; CP *; RM *; cat *; etc..) , a Argument list too long error occurs.

Here's how to fix it:

Use Find-exec to traverse and then perform the delete.

sudo find/tmp-type f-exec rm {} \;
