rm -r only files?

Is there an way to remove all the files from the current dir (recursively), keeping the directory structure?

find . -type f -exec rm {} \;

Try without rm first to see what it will remove:

find . -type f

1Alternatife for find: --delete (That way it does not need to start rm for each file, so you get less overhead). – Hennes – 2013-03-11T13:55:21.860
