  Looks fairly sane, finds every file in the given directory that was created in the last 24 hours and deletes them. Personally if you are dealing with CSAM I’d be using shred instead of just rm

  source
• mordred@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec rm {} \;

  • sudo: run as root
  • find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f: find files (f) in directory
  • -ctime -1: which have been created in the last day
  • -exec rm {} ; execute the command rm (remove) on each of them

  sudo

  As root

  find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files

  Find files in /srv/lemmy… that:

  -type f

  Are plain files (not directories, symlinks, etc; includes images)

  -ctime -1

  And were created within an amount of time (probably last day, haven’t used this flag in a while)

  -exec rm {} \;

  For each matching file found execute rm on it (delete it).

    I don’t think rm is gonna cut it if you have that shit on disk

      Agreed, the data will not be scrubbed, just marked as reclaimable.
