How to remove files based on their extension using ssh

Question

I need to removed files in my folders that ends in .txt using ssh. This is what I have tried so far:

find /models/ -name *.txt" -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;

Inside these main folder model I have hundreds of subfolders with a file that ends in .txt and they need to be removed.

Answer 1

-type d means directory, so what you're doing is removing all directories ending in .txt. -type f will give you files.

Answer 2

You also have a problem with ":

try:

find models/ -name "*.txt" -type f -exec rm -rf {} \;
