Re: Deleting all image files with "small" keyword

You can use

find . -type f -name "*.[sS]mall*" | egrep "\.jpg|\.png|\.bmp" >/tmp/L
while read line
do
rm $line
done < /tmp/L

/tmp/L contains a list of files that match the regular expression in the
egrep command. You can then read the file line by line and remove the
files.

This would delete all Files with Small or small in the filenames.
I want to delete image files [png,jpg,bmp] only not music files with
small in their names too
