recursively delete files when filename matchs regex

Recursively delete files when filename matches regex.

find /your/dir -type f | grep -E ".*\.(jpg|png|gif)$" | sed 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs rm

find /your/dir -type f will find all files in the directory and subdirectories.

grep -E ".*\.(jpg|png|gif)$" will filter the files with the extension jpg, png or gif.

sed 's/ /\\ /g' will escape the spaces in the dir/file names. This is necessary because xargs will split the arguments by spaces.

xargs rm will remove the files.
