I forgot that adding the -type d won't let it delete non-empty
directories. Try running it like:
find /path/to/start/deleting -name _vti_\* -delete

Thanks for the follow-up. I'll try it too.

Pardon my answering my own post, but after reading the find manpage, I
think perhaps
find -d /path/to/start/deleting -type d -name _vti_\* -exec rm -Rd {} \;
would be better. The -d option makes find visit the contents of a
directory before the directory itself. The one without the -d option
deletes the topmost directory it finds and then tries to traverse
downwards, which of course causes a warning. It still works though.

Re: find and remove ?
> Thanks, Eitan, but it didn't delete. What did I do wrong? I would need to see what command you typed :-) Go to the top directory you start deleting from and type find . -name _vti_\* This will print out what it thinks should be deleted. If you don't see the directories you expect here then please be more specific about what should be deleted. If you do see the directories you expect and running the find command with "-delete" doesn't work then we could try and debug from that point. -- Eitan Adler ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

find and remove ?
Folks: Am running FBSD-7.x I'm finally getting around to removing any remnants of frontpage. There are 1000s of _vti_* directories across several domains and need to clean those out. What's the best way to run a short script or command set to find and delete those? Appreciate any suggestions. Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

Recommendations on how to find and remove sparse files?
I'm trying to find a method to recursively find and remove sparse files from a directory tree. It appears the 'find' utility won't work in this case. I'm running 6.2-R.
