Trying to Delete Millions of Files in Linux but get an error: Argument list too long

Great source for deleting millions of files in a ubuntu directory when you get an error: /bin/rm: Argument list too long. Well, simply navigate to the directory with the problem and execute this: ls -1 | wc -l && time find . -type f -delete Apparently, 'find' can handle large number of files better than 'rm' and it even has a -delete feature! I just deleted 3 million files using this method. Special thanks to Deleting tons of files in Linux Argument list too long | SteveKamerman.com.
