CLEANING DIRECTORIES 
The creation of many temporary files
 in Unix during compilations, occupies
 a lot of memory space. This can be
 got rid of by using a simple script.
 
 find $1 \( -name a.out -o -name '*.o' -o -name 'core' -o -name '*.ii' -o -name '*.ti' -o -name '*.class' -o -name '*.pur' \) -exec rm {} \;
 
 Save the above line in a file and run
 this file after changing permissions.
 For example, if the file containing
 the above code has the name 'clean',
 then:
 
 example% clean
 
 will remove all the files specified
 in the script in the directory and
 all other subdirectories within it.
 You can add or remove any number of
 files in the script, to suit your
 needs.
