Remove read only files and directories (Ubuntu)

begueradj

Howdy,

I have several read only files and folders among many others writable files and folders.

My question: is there a way to delete all the read only files and folders through one commande line instead of deleting them one by one ?

Thanks from Begueradj B.

yes, search all files with readonly perm, and delete them recursive.

find . -type f -perm 0400
