command to remove automatically created .ipynb_checkpoints folders and their checkpoints

Remove_notebook_checkpoints.sh

rm -rf `find -type d -name .ipynb_checkpoints`

Thanks, it works.

This doesn't delete it, it finds them but don't delete them :

find: illegal option -- t
usage: find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] [-f path] path ... [expression]
find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] -f path [path ...] [expression]

if you have linked folders:

rm -rf `find -L -type d -name .ipynb_checkpoints`

the -L make it recursive for symbolic link as well

Thank you, very helpful!

Sorry, I use Window11. How can use this code.

Even though this maybe quite old, I hope my answer can still be helpful to anyone who faces the same problem in the future:

rm -rf `find . -type d -name .ipynb_checkpoints`
