Hello, I am pretty new to Linux, but am currently running it as my main OS, alongside Windows 11.

I have just added all my music to the ~/Music directory so lots of sub directories under that for different artists etc.

All these album files have album cover jpg files but have them in *large.jpg and *small.jpg - I don't really see the point of both.

I would like to know if there is a command line instruction using grep or something that will search all the ~/Music sub directories for all *small.jpg files and then allow me to delete them all in one go... Or something like that?

Thanks
Stewart

Since you know about grep, then you should be looking at the pipe command and the ?rm? command. Reading the man pages, or a search for ?remove grepped files? should get you to the right path.
