\n\"Bash<\/p>\n

Say you just ran some script that was supposed to move files around or download<\/a> stuff, or anything else that involves files, and then you realize that you need to figure out what files just got created and where. And maybe you need to delete them.<\/p>\n

First you\u2019ll want to use the find command to figure out what files were created, and then using the mmin<\/code> argument to specify files less than x minutes. If you want to specify only files, you can use the -type f<\/code> argument to only check for files.<\/p>\n

So if you want to check in the current folder, including subfolders, for files created in the last 5 minutes, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n

find .\/ -type f -mmin -5<\/pre>\n
To delete files we can use the -exec rm {} ;<\/code> argument, which is a little confusing, but basically you\u2019re telling the exec argument to remove the files.<\/p>\n
So to delete all files in the current folder, including subfolders, created in the last 5 minutes, use this command:<\/p>\n
find .\/ -type f -mmin -5 -exec rm {} ;<\/pre>\n
If you wanted to specify files older than X days instead, you could use the -mtime<\/code> argument \u2014 for instance, this command would delete files older than 10 days:<\/p>\n
find .\/ -type f -mtime +10 -exec rm {} ;<\/pre>\n
Much easier than looking at the man page.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
