cd到目录Y的根目录 b
$ b

then假设文件夹名称为X，输入）：

find。-name X -exec rm -rf {} \; （并且非常小心，您从哪里开始这个 find ，您只需要在Y目录中执行此操作。

我一直在做这种事情来删除旧的/破坏的存储库目录（如 .svn ），我怀疑是你也可以做的。

现在可能是一个聪明的时候，我提醒你，时间机器是一个在Macintosh上启用的好东西。

There is a folder named X located within a number of subfolders of root directory Y. I want to delete all folders named X that are present in Y and all of it's subfolders. I want to do this using osx Terminal.

The folder can be located anywhere downstream of Y at any level, so I want to use a more systematic approach than just using rm -r for every locations I find.

"cd" to root of directory Y

then (assuming the folder name is "X", type in):

"find . -name X -exec rm -rf {} \;" (and be incredibly careful about where you start this "find" from... you only want to do this within your Y directory).

I do this kind of thing all the time to remove old/busted repository directories (like ".svn"), which I suspect is what you may also be doing as well.

And now would probably be a smart time for me to remind you that "Time Machine" is a great thing to have enabled on your Macintosh.
