Linux or UNIX - Find and remove file syntax
The basic find command syntax is:
#find dir-name criteria action
dir-name : - Defines the working directory such as look into /tmp/
criteria : Use to select files such as "*.sh"
action : The find action (what-to-do on file) such as delete the file.
To remove multiple files such as *.jpg or *.sh with one command find, use:
#find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND" -exec rm -rf {} \;
OR
#find . -type f -name "FILE-TO-FIND" -exec rm -f {} \;
The only difference between above two syntax is that the first command remove directories as well where second command only removes files. Options:
-name "FILE-TO-FIND" : File pattern.
-exec rm -rf {} \; : Delete all files matched by file pattern.
-type f : Only match files and do not include directory names.
#

#
#find . -type f -name ".Asp" -exec rm -f {} \;
