Hi,

Using the shell script, I need to remove the files that are larger than 50 MB in size. I am not good in shell scripting.

Code:

find . -type f -size +50M -print -exec rm {} \;

i think you can remove files whose sizes between two certain values:

Code:

find . -type f -size +50M -size -100M -print -exec rm {} \;
