mass file delete command

you can always move the files from allrar folder back.

you don't know the first thing about linux. and i would prefer you go with easy stuff.

all you have to do is evilgeniuses command then move the files back...

Surely this isn't too hard?

Use sftp and sort by type, mass select and delete them
