Delete XLDIR Directory Scripts

This directory contains scripts for deleting all directories ending with __XLDIR__ in the specified path.

Script Description

1. delete_xldir.sh (Full Version)

A feature-rich version with multiple options and safety checks.

Usage:

./scripts/delete_xldir.sh <path> [options]

Options:

• -f, --force Force deletion without confirmation
• -v, --verbose Show verbose information
• -d, --dry-run Show directories to be deleted without actually deleting
• -h, --help Show help information

Examples:

# Preview directories to be deleted (without actually deleting)
./scripts/delete_xldir.sh /path/to/search --dry-run

# Interactive deletion (will ask for confirmation)
./scripts/delete_xldir.sh /path/to/search

# Force deletion (without confirmation)
./scripts/delete_xldir.sh /path/to/search --force

# Verbose mode deletion
./scripts/delete_xldir.sh /path/to/search --verbose

2. delete_xldir_simple.sh (Simple Version)

A streamlined version that directly deletes found directories.

Usage:

./scripts/delete_xldir_simple.sh <path>

Example:

# Delete all directories ending with __XLDIR__ in the specified path
./scripts/delete_xldir_simple.sh /path/to/search

How It Works

Both scripts use the find command to locate directories:

find "$SEARCH_PATH" -type d -name "*__XLDIR__"

• -type d: Only search for directories
• -name "*__XLDIR__": Find directories ending with __XLDIR__

Safety Notes

⚠️ Important Reminders:

• Deletion operations are irreversible, please confirm the path is correct before use
• It's recommended to use the --dry-run option first to preview directories to be deleted
• For important data, please backup first

Use Cases

These scripts are typically used for cleaning up temporary directories or metadata directories in storage systems, especially in distributed storage systems where __XLDIR__ is commonly used as a specific directory identifier.
