Delete a list of files with find and grep

Question

I want to delete all files which have names containing a specific word, e.g. \"car\". So far, I came up with this:

find|grep car

How do I pass

Answer 1

You can use ls and grep to find your files and rm -rf to delete the files.

rm -rf $(ls | grep car)

But this is not a good idea to use this command if there is a chance of directories or files, you don't want to delete, having names with the character pattern you are specifying with grep.
