Hi,

I don't think that's possible as there are literally hundreds of
various directories and thousands of files, each with their own
creation/modification date. Any other thoughts?

Thanks

Hi

I need to delete files in my /opt/html/ directory that were
created/modified ON the 20th of March this year? Is there a way for me
to do this?

Thanks

 Hey Dan,

 You could simply become root

 su -

 and do the following

 rm -rf /opt/html/<file>

 a wildcard can also be used

 Cheers,

 Keiran

Hey Dan,

You could use a wild card so

rm -rf /opt/html/*

Would empty the directory
