Subject: Deleting multiple directories with the same name
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 19:33:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41F15922.2020602@netual.pt> (raw)

Hi,

I have this huge directory tree.
Each branch has a "CVS" directory, that i now want to delete.

How can i delete recursevely all the "CVS" directories and its contents, 
but not the other files ?

I've squeezed my head with find piping to xargs, but i always end up 
deleting everything :-(

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm Regards.
