title: Using pipes to delete all occurences of Thumbs.db file from Ubuntu Laptop
body: <p>I have a laptop installed with Ubuntu 10.04. I migrated some of my files from one computer to this computer. But there are some files like Thumbs.db file whose every occurrence I want to get rid of.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using </p>
  
  <pre><code>locate Thumbs.db | rm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But dis didn't worked out (and clearly it should not). Then I tried using following, but quite expectedly none of them worked out :</p>
  
  <pre><code>locate thumbs.db &gt; rm
  locate thumbs.db &lt; rm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As everyone here, might have pointed out that I am having a hard time using pipeline and want to just clear my concept using this as an example. I have read the basics but still not able to intitutively able to apply it.</p>
