# Recursively Find and Remove 👓🔥
This is a cross-platform utility that will recursively search a directory for files & folders with a specific name or names, find all occurrences then prompt you to delete them.
While you can achieve this in `bash` with a combination of `find` and `rm -rf`, the motivation for this tool is to use the same syntax for this operation across all operating systems and shell environments.
## Example
```
rrm -f "node_modules" -f ".DS_Store" ~/Development
```
Outputs:
```
Looking within:
/home/alshdavid/Development
Looking for:
node_modules
.DS_Store
Found:
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/another_one/.DS_Store
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/node_modules
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/.DS_Store
Delete matches? [y/N] y
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/another_one/.DS_Store
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/.DS_Store
/home/alshdavid/Development/my-project/node_modules
```
