    Hi,

    I want to remove some files from public_html but Cpanel taking too long to fetch. Is there better way to search and delete a particular file without fecthing whole directory.


    Thanks

    You can use FTP for that purpose but it'd be really easy if you have the access to the server, do you?

    Hi,

    If you have WHM root access then you can ssh to server as root and use following command to find a particular file and delete it.

    find . -type f -name "file name to find" -exec rm -f {} \;

    Well that is the best and the quickest command to delete the unwanted files immediately. I also use that one.

    FTP and SSH are alternatives to File Manager if you need to remove a file from a directory.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Yes, I will suggest you to use SSH command to delete the selected files from your public_html directory
