Last night I had a script go a bit crazy and create a bunch of directories between 3:00 and 3:09am. Is there a quick one liner that will hunt these down and remove them for me?

    If you can search for the first and last (chronological) directories you want to delete, then you can use find:

    find . -newer first -not -newer last -type d
    

    And if the output suits you, go for the delete

    find . -newer first -not -newer last -type d -print0 |  xargs -0 rmdir
    

    or with explicit date stamps:

    find . -newermt "2010-03-31 0300" -not -newermt "2010-03-31 0310" -type d
