Hello, good morning!!

I am trying to clean my server of thousands of .jpg files because I already have them with a .wepp extension and I am having a problem.

How can I search from PLESK, only the files with a .JPG extension and then delete them? Is there a way?.

I am new to PLESK and I can't find a way.

Thanks!!!
Luis
 
Connect via SSH to your server (or use the SSH Terminal extension of Plesk) and then use:

to find/list such files:
Code:
find /var/www/vhosts/ -name "*.JPG"
to delete such files:
Code:
find /var/www/vhosts/ -name "*.JPG" -delete

If you want to search (and delete) also files with .jpg, then you can use the case-insensitive option "-iname" instead of "-name"
 
Hi, thank you very much for your reply. How useful!! and how wise.

Thanks for your help, good afternoon.

Be very careful as that would effectively remove those files for all domains in that vhosts directory (including any third party CMS plugins that use JPG files).
