Recursively delete all .svn folders

September 5th, 2007 | GNU/Linux

Needed to quickly delete all .svn folders and files within them from a machine where svn client was not setup.

Here’s how:
#!/bin/sh echo “recursively removing .svn folders from” pwd rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`

One more way:

find . -type d -name ‘.svn’ -exec rm -rf {} \;

Single quote is not working on Linux
find . -type d -name ‘.svn’ -exec rm -rf {} \;

The right way is:
find . -type d -name “.svn” -exec rm -rf {} \;
