From Shell: Delete all files with apostrophes

Question

How do I delete all files in a folder that has an apostrophe?

for example:

Baird/'s Tunnel.jpg

Bach/'s Birds.jpg

This isn//'t good.png

I would like all those files deleted but anything that doesn't have an apostrophe to remain intact, like:

this is good.jpg donotdelete.png

Answer 1

In sh you could do

rm *\'*

Answer 2

You can use the find command:

find . -name "*'*" -delete

As @Bryan pointed in his comment, this will delete all files in the current directory and all subdirectories. If you don't want to descend the directories use:

find . -name "*'*" -maxdepth 1 -delete

which makes find stay in the current directory.

Answer 3

GNU find

find /path/ -type f -name "*[']*" -exec rm {} +;
