I am writing a ShellScript that deletes every found.??? folders with its contents. I wrote this:

find $DRIVE -name 'found.???' -type d -exec rm -r {} \;

It does what I want, but gives this error:

find: „/media/.../found.000”: No such file or directory
find: „/media/.../found.001”: No such file or directory

What can I do with this? Thanks!

回答1:

This isn't really an issue. find is going to pre-process some results and when it tries to delete some directories which have already been deleted, you will get the stderr.

You can either ignore the error messages, use -depth to make it traverse in DFS, or force it to -prune the directories. i.e.

find "$DRIVE" -mindepth 1 -depth -name 'found.???' -type d -exec rm -r {} \;

or

find "$DRIVE" -mindepth 1 -name 'found.???' -type d -prune -exec rm -r {} \;

Note, mindepth 1 is important so you don't accidentally delete "$DRIVE"

I'll guess that you're trying to populate a FAT-based fs. Try presenting the real case of those filenames instead:

find "$DRIVE" -name 'FOUND.???' -type d -exec rm -r {} \;

And quote your variable too.
