I use Linux on Centos
And I need to remove the JPG in a file for more than 7 days.
But can't delete the JPG of the main directory
example: find /users/mac/desktop/test/*
Will output
/users/mac/desktop/test/test.jpg
/users/mac/desktop/test/test01
/users/mac/desktop/test/test01/test01.jpg
/users/mac/desktop/test/test02
/users/mac/desktop/test/test02/test02.jpg
But I only need delete this two .jpg
/users/mac/desktop/test/test01/test01.jpg
/users/mac/desktop/test/test02/test02.jpg

– Kamil Cuk
Nov 22 at 10:48
Because we need, for example, the "-mtime" option. My fix was to add the second /* at the end, so that it doesn't match JPG files in the parent directory.
