While I was looking at my backup log in Retrospect, I saw an error message about a directory had more than 100 folders deep. What?<\/p>\n
I took a look and sure enough, Entourage had gone on a folder making frenzy and had created well over 100 folders within each other:<\/p>\n
My Project.rge\/My Project.rge\/My Project.rge\/My Project.rge\/My Project.rge…<\/p>\n
Well, I fired up terminal.app, typed rm -R and expected my problem folder to go away. But it didn’t. The folders that Entourage created were actually bundles, so now I had to dig a little deeper:<\/p>\n
find . -iname “*.rge” -exec rm -rdf {} \\;<\/p>\n
Basically, this calls the find command recursively on every bundle found with the “rge” extention and deletes it.\u00a0So if anyone else out there has the need to recursively delete bundles\/folders on their Mac OS computer, just type in the above command… with extreme caution \ud83d\ude41\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
