      the -delete option in find goes AFTER the expression.

      find -delete [whatever] will delete EVERYTHING in the current directory and below, like rm -rf *

        Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that -delete only works when explicitly given a directory.

      This shouldnt do anything since you didn’t gave it a directory to start with.
