title: Unable to delete thousands of files within a folder in terminal
body: <p>I'm trying to delete files inside a certain folder but it's throwing an error:</p>
  <pre><code>rm -rf /usr/html/sched/downloads/*
  
  -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
  </code></pre>
  <p>I searched online and found this solution but I'm afraid to try it being a production server and I don't know how to put the path correctly:</p>
  <pre><code>find . -name '*' | xargs rm -v
  </code></pre>
  <p>How can I delete thousands of files within the <code>/downloads</code> director? FYI, there's no sub-directory.</p>
