Bash line to recursively delete all folders called validation
user
Sure, here's a Bash command that will recursively delete all folders (directories) whose name is "validation" (case-insensitive):

```bash
find . -type d -name 'validation' -exec rm -rf {} \;
```

Explanation:

- `find` is a command used to search for files and directories.
- `.` is a special argument that tells find to start from the current directory.
- `-type d` limits the search to only directories.
- `-name 'validation'` indicates the name of the directory we want to delete.
- `-exec` is an option to execute a command (stored in {}).
- `rm -rf` is a common command to delete or remove files. Here, it's used to remove directories. The `-r` option makes it recursive (deletes all subdirectories containing "validation"), and the `-f` option forces the deletion without confirmation.
- `{}` is a special placeholder for the found files.
- `\;` is a delimiter to mark the end of the command.

This command will delete all directories called "validation", along with any contents of those directories (since the `-r` option is specified). **Please use this command with caution, as it will permanently delete all matches. Ensure that you want to delete all validation directories and their contents before executing this command**.

Sure, you can use the `find` command in Bash to recursively search for and delete all directories named "validation". Here's how you can do it:

```bash
find . -type d -name "validation" -exec rm -rf {} +
```

Please be very careful with this command. It will delete all directories named "validation" and their contents without asking for confirmation. Make sure you are in the correct directory and you have a backup of your important data.

Here's what each part of the command does:

- `find .` starts searching from the current directory.
- `-type d` specifies that you want to find directories.
- `-name "validation"` specifies that you're looking for items named "validation".
- `-exec rm -rf {} +` deletes each found directory. The `{}` is replaced by the current file name. The `+` at the end is more efficient than using `;`, as it builds a single command line for each invocation of `rm`.
