You too may have enjoyed Windows and its tendency to hide <a title="thumbs files" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache" target="_blank">Thumbs files</a> in any folder containing media files.
|
||
|
||
Basically, Windows creates those files to let you see <a title="thumbnail" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbnail" target="_blank">thumbnails</a> when you browse from file to file (or folder to folder . . . ).
|
||
|
||
And <strong><a title="why Linux is better" href="http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/" target="_blank">as you now run Linux,</a></strong> those files are completely useless for you !
|
||
|
||
So here is the magic solution to get rid of those parasites :
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
|
||
$ sudo find any_folder -name "Thumbs.db" -exec rm {} \;
|
||
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
<em>any_folder</em> being of course the location you want to sanitize.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You can now enjoy a world (slighlty) cleaner :).
