How about creating a temp directory and moving the files to the temporary directory, then remove the whole temp directory? Like this:<br />
<br />
find . -name &quot;*____.tmp&quot; &nbsp;-mtime +30 -exec mv {} /tmpdir \;<br />
rm -rf /tmpdir

I tried all the ways, mentioned above only last one better than all. Initiating during downtime and it is still taking long time but no option.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have lots of files (nearly 900000)in a directory and I need to remove files older than 30 days in a quick way.<br />
<br />
I tried to execute &nbsp;find . -name &quot;*____.tmp&quot; &nbsp;-mtime +30 -exec rm -rf {} \;<br />
<br />
but it is too long time.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
