Knowing the difference between these 2 lines of bash can save your day
Exhibit 1 (ok):<p><pre><code>    find . -name [pattern] -delete
</code></pre>
Exhibit 2 (bad):<p><pre><code>    find . - name [pattern] -delete
</code></pre>
It&#x27;s a good idea to take a quick second look at the command you&#x27;re about to run, to make sure there aren&#x27;t any typos. I learned this the hard way today.
