Joe L. Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Is there away I can delete a bunch of files at once through telnet. For example cd /mnt/disk1/downloads In my downloads folder I have a bunch of files I would like to delete and would like to try to do it though telnet. rm /mnt/disk1/downloads/* if not sure, type ls /mnt/disk1/downloads/* to see what will be deleted first. In place of * (which matches every file) you can use *.xyz where "xyz" = the extension of the files you want removed or, type mc and use midnight commander to select, and then delete the files.
