I am searching for a way to empty the contents of a bunch of folders without removing the folders themselves AND leave other files at the currect directory level alone.
I have a bunch of print queue folders.
du -shc *.PA
shows these results
199M 4A81C53F.PA
941K 4A81D556.PA
0 4A81D56D.PA
192K 4A81D582.PA
632K 4A81D598.PA
0 4A81D5AD.PA
254M 4A81D5C0.PA
0 4A81DF1B.PA
0 4A81DF45.PA
All folders have a .PA extension so they are easily identified.
You can see that some are empty and some have files (print jobs) in them. I want to delete all files from WITHIN these folders and nothing else.
Can someone help with a single command that will do this?
