g.remove.1grass - Man Page

Removes data base element files from the user’s current mapset using the search pattern.

g.remove g.remove --help g.remove [-irefb] type=datatype[,datatype,...] [name=string[,string,...]] [ignore=string[,string,...]] [pattern=string] [exclude=string] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags

-i: Ignore case
-r: Use basic regular expressions instead of wildcards
-e: Use extended regular expressions instead of wildcards
-f: Force removal (required for actual deletion of files)
-b: Remove base raster maps
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters

type=datatype[,datatype,...]Â [required]: Data type(s)
Options: raster, raster_3d, vector, label, region, group, all
raster: raster map(s)
raster_3d: 3D raster map(s)
vector: vector map(s)
label: paint label file(s)
region: region definition(s)
group: imagery group(s)
all: all types
name=string[,string,...]: Name of file(s) to remove
ignore=string[,string,...]: Name of file(s) to ignore (default: none)
pattern=string: File name search pattern
exclude=string: File name exclusion pattern (default: none)

Description

g.remove removes data files matching a pattern given by wildcards or POSIX Extended Regular Expressions. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead the list of selected file names is printed to stdout as a preview of the files to be deleted.

Examples

Delete map1 and map2 raster maps in the current mapset:

g.remove -f type=raster name=tmp1,tmp2

Delete all raster and vector maps starting with "tmp_" in the current mapset:

# show matching raster and vector maps but do not delete yet (as verification)
g.remove type=raster,vector pattern="tmp_*"
# actually delete the matching raster and vector maps
g.remove -f type=raster,vector pattern="tmp_*"

Delete all vector maps starting with "stream_" in the current mapset, but exclude those ending with "_final":

g.remove -f type=vector pattern="stream_*" exclude="*_final"
