试验场景：生成5000个1MB大小的文件，然后用find删除。

看结果说话：

[user@host test]$ for x in `seq 1000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x.dd count=1 bs=1MB 2>/dev/null; done
[user@host test]$ time find . -type f -name "*.dd" -exec rm -rf {} \;

real    0m1.590s
user    0m0.120s
sys     0m1.125s
[user@host test]$ 
[user@host test]$ for x in `seq 1000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x.dd count=1 bs=1MB 2>/dev/null; done
[user@host test]$ time find . -type f -name "*.dd" -delete 

real    0m0.387s
user    0m0.002s
sys     0m0.385s
[user@host test]$ 
[user@host test]$ for x in `seq 1000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x.dd count=1 bs=1MB 2>/dev/null; done
[user@host test]$ time find . -type f -name "*.dd" -exec rm -rf {} + 

real    0m0.387s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.385s
[infa@wltscj1 test]$ 
[infa@wltscj1 test]$ for x in `seq 5000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x.dd count=1 bs=1MB 2>/dev/null; done
[infa@wltscj1 test]$ time find . -type f -name "*.dd" -delete 

real    0m2.176s
user    0m0.014s
sys     0m2.140s
[user@host test]$ 
[user@host test]$ for x in `seq 5000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x.dd count=1 bs=1MB 2>/dev/null; done
[user@host test]$ time find . -type f -name "*.dd" -exec rm -rf {} +

real    0m2.038s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m2.020s
[user@host test]$ 

结论，下面这种写法效率相对较高些：

find [OPTIONS] -exec rm {} +

 

更好的方式：

#创建空白目录
[user@host ~]$ mkdir blank/
#删除test目录下的所有文件：
[user@host ~]$ time rsync -a --delete-before blank/ test/


real    0m1.906s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m1.838s
[user@host ~]$
