Delete big amount of files in Linux

When we need delete big amount of files in Linux we can get the following error:

bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long 

Use any of the following commands to delete the files from your folder:
  • ls | xargs rm
  • for i in $(echo *); do rm -f $i; done
  • ls | grep .| xargs rm
