    Because if you have literally zero bytes left on the disc for the OS to write to because every single bit has been filled by an overflowing crash log then you do not have enough space to run RM as it will try to list all the files in a directory before it deletes them one by one.

    Find a doesn’t care it finds things and does things. This is the fuck you I’m shredding it command. You could just do find and then delete but that would be very dangerous My command allows you to exclude whatever file type you put in as the string

    A string is a data type used in programming, that is used to represent text rather than numbers. A string is a sequence of characters and can contain letters, numbers, symbols and even spaces. It must be enclosed in quotation marks for it to be recognized as a string.
