duplicate directory tree

[Snyder, Alexander J]

Well, "rm -rf DIRECTORY" will kill it, but rather than just blindly doing
that, you might consider using the FIND command and searching for certain
files (-iname "*.jpg) or something.

ChatGPT should be able to give you the proper FIND syntax with -exec
