Same thing, different way, as always there are tons of ways.

-v in my method means Verbose which shows which .listing files were removed.

-f in your method means forceful, I don’t think this would be required though

I had to do the same thing not long ago. Actually, it was recent enough that I was able to cat/grep my .bash_history to find the command I used.

Here’s what I ended up doing.

find . -type f -name “.listing” -exec rm -f {} \;

Just a note, don’t use the dollar sign at the start, thats just to show its a shell (bash) prompt.
