What would this syntax be?

[Izkabola]

Hello,

Instead of
cp -a /usr/fileexample/* /usr/3rdparty/fileexample

I did
cp -a /usr/fileexample/* /usr/3rdparty

Is there a way to delete all the files that I copyed into /usr/3rdparty? I want to keep everything intact except the files I just copyed, and those can be deleted.

Thanks in advance!!

You'll have to remove them manually one by one now. For such reasons, using cp -av is a good idea so that you can see what has actually happened. I'd give you a copy of a standard listing of that directory, but it doesn't exist on my test box.

Thanks for the reply.
