How to delete all files in a directory linux?

Always verify the path before running rm -rf to prevent accidental deletion of important data.

Tip: Use ls /path/to/directory first to preview files before deleting.

To delete all files in a directory in Linux, use the command: bash rm /path/to/directory/* This deletes all files but not subdirectories.

You can also use find to delete specific file types: bash find /path/to/directory -type f -name "*.txt" -delete This only deletes .txt files.

To delete all files and subdirectories: bash rm -rf /path/to/directory/* Be very careful; this is irreversible.
