How to remove all files without the .txt
and .exe
extensions recursively in the current working directory? I need a one-liner.
I tried:
find . ! -name "*.txt" "*.exe" -exec rm -r {} find -type f -regextype posix-extended -iregex '.*.(txt|exe)$'

Try this.
find . -type f ! -name "*.exe" ! -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} ;
The above command will remove all the files other than the .exe and .txt extension files in the current directory and sub directory recursively.
