Hi. I had a zip file which i needed to extract. This zip file contains a base folder in which there are a few subfolders, etc... I opened the zip file with file roller, which naturally showed me the base folder (the one i just mentioned). Then I set it to extract this file under /usr/. Specifically, this was the Eclipse project file. The zip file contains a base folder called eclipse in which are all the subfolders and project files. Then i thought that file roller would extract the files to me in a way that i would maitain the same hierarchy. So, i thought i would have the folder /usr/eclipse and under /usr/eclipse i would have the other subfolders and files. The problem is that when i told it to extract, file roller simply extract all FILES of the original zip file undre /usr/. So now i got hundreds of file under my /usr/ directory. Addionally, file roller didn't create any of the subfolders of the eclipse base folder (which, as said, was not created either). What could i do to "undo" this process? I'm very new to linux. Is there a way i to delete files created at some specific date??? So i just would go with this. For example: Delete all files created after saturday 30. Also, i could delete only all FILES from my /usr/ dir, which before the whole thing only had subfolders. Maybe i could use rm for that, but as i'm a linux beginner i'm not sure which comannda line options to use. Maybe: rm -/usr/* Well, any help is appreciated. -- Leandro
