Answer / Sohan Sagar Jha
To achieve this, use the command line with a combination of 'find', 'xargs' and 'rm'. Here's an example command: `find ~ -name '*.tar' -exec rm {} ;`. This command will search for all *.tar files in your home directory using find, then exec rm to delete them, and the ; tells it that the command is complete.
