如何删除所有超过3天的文件，当“参数列表太长”？ [英] How to delete all files older than 3 days when "Argument list too long"?

问题描述

我有一个有82000个文件和目录的日志文件目录（大约一半）。

我需要删除所有的文件和目录这是超过3天。

在一个有37000个文件的目录中，我可以这样做：

  find * -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \; 
  

但是有82000个文件/目录，我得到错误：

/ usr / bin / find：参数列表太长

如何解决此错误，以便我可以删除所有超过3天的文件/目录？ 解决方案

删除和目录中的所有文件： >找到。 -mtime +3 | xargs rm -Rf

或者，更符合OP的原始命令：

  find。 -mtime +3 -exec rm -Rf  -  {} \; 
  

I've got a log file directory that has 82000 files and directories in it (about half and half).

I need to delete all the file and directories which are older than 3 days.

In a directory that has 37000 files in it, I was able to do this with:

find * -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;

But with 82000 files/directories, I get the error:

/usr/bin/find: Argument list too long

How can I get around this error so that I can delete all files/directories that are older than 3 days?

解决方案

To delete all files and directories within the current directory:

find . -mtime +3 | xargs rm -Rf

Or alternatively, more in line with the OP's original command:

find . -mtime +3 -exec rm -Rf -- {} \;
