I have large tree, with many pdf files in it. I want to delete the pdf files in this tree, but only those pdf files in sub folders named rules/
For example, I have this tree. Everything below 'source'
source/ A/ rules/*.pdf etc/ B/ keep_this.pdf rules/*.pdf whatever/ C/ D/ rules/*.pdf something/ and so on. There are pdf files all over the place, but I only want to delete all the pdf files which are in folders called rules/ and no other place.else.
I think I need to use
cd source find / -type d -name "rules" -print0 | xargs -0 <<<rm *.pdf?? now what?>>> But I am not sure what to do after getting list of all subfolders named rules/
Any help is appreciated.
