A very simple way to solve the problem of deleting too many files and being restricted by the shell in Linux

I recently discovered a problem. Under Linux, if there are too many files in a directory and the file names are too long, if you want to delete the file system, you will be prompted for Argument list too long. If you use rm -rf * to delete, It will prompt that this is a Linux shell restriction issue. You can use the following method to achieve this:

Enter the directory you want to enter as root
Execute:

ls|xargs rm -f

#You can delete them all
This is more efficient
