Navigate to your user:
Code:
cd /Users/YOURUSER/Desktop/
Replace "YOURUSER" with your user name.
Assuming you want to delete the files and they all end with the same extension and they are the only ones with that extension on the desktop (or you don't mind deleting any other files on the desktop with the same extension):
Replace ".ext" with the extension of the file. rm is the delete command, so be careful with it. Alternatively, if the files have a repeating name (like frame01.jpg) you could use:
or whatever fits the format. * is a wildcard symbol, meaning it will delete anything that conforms to the example where * is anything but the rest is the same.
If it won't let you delete, add "sudo" to the front, like so:
Sudo drops you into super-user mode for that command, which means the computer will do whatever you tell it (including deleting core system files should you tell it to) so try it without sudo first.
That will delete all the images for you. Some basic commands for navigation:
cd - change directory. Format is cd /path
ls - list contents. All you have to do is type ls.
./ - current directory
This should get you good to go. Let me know if you have any problems.
And remember:
DON'T PLAY AROUND WITH SUDO. ONLY USE IT IF NECESSARY AS YOU CAN REALLY MESS UP YOUR SYSTEM WITH IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
You have been given the power. You have been warned.
