What do you mean by "numerical files"? Mind giving us an example? Perhaps something like this?:

find /home -type f -regex '[0-9][0-9]*'

I need to delete them using find command, sorry its for knowledge and not just for the sake of deleting the files :slight_smile:

In any case, you'll end up using "rm" command. You just need to tell "find" to issue the command on each and every line it finds.

Try using "-exec" or "-ok" options. Here's an example:

find ...blah blah blah... -exec rm -rf {} \;
