Say you wanna search your filesystem for files matching certain criteria and remove them. Here’s how to do it:

Create a text file containing the list of files you want to remove, e.g. like this:

locate abcd | /bin/grep /usr/local > filelist.txt

Inspect filelist.txt carefully to make sure you’re not removing anything you want to keep. Then remove those files like this:

for i in `cat filelist.txt`; do sudo rm -r $i; done
