Question

I know I’m being an idiot here… Where am I going wrong? is it neccicary to use sudo rm -f? and why is the *.cr2 not working?

 tell application "System Events"
   try
    do shell script "rm /Users/splashretouch8/Pictures/SplashNW/Capture/*.cr2"
   end try
  end tell

Answer 1

Here is another approach:

set theFolder to alias ("/Users/splashretouch8/Pictures/SplashNW/Capture/" as POSIX file)
tell application "Finder" to delete (every file of theFolder whose name contains ".cr2")

Or

do shell script "cd '/Users/splashretouch8/Pictures/SplashNW/Capture/' ; rm *.cr2"
