The problem here is that the shell is expanding your command before executing, so if it's going to match one file, it's probably fine. Matching 20 will be a problem as you will actually execute:-
Of course, you might match 5000 files. This is why giving the directory name only as the first parameter to find and using the -name "*.aud" arguments will be far better. This tels it to search from one location and match files (directories, pipes, etc.) based on your expression. That actual command executed is as seen, without expansion. Remember to keep *.aud quoted.
I hope that this explanation helps show why ahamed101 has a good solution.
Howdy.

I know that rm -i, asks a user before removing a file. What I need to accomplish is removing files from a different directory without switching to that directory.
