Question Deleting lots of files.....

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for reading and any posts...

I have to delete a lot of files (about 6 pages of a4 (ls -ltr)) but I have to keep some as well. I would normally do an rm * to get rid of them all, but thats not what I want to do. Is there anyway I could rm * but add in a list of files that I don't want to delete.

Thanks for reading and any posts,

Mark.
