Re: deleting IFS files

*HEY DON ... I got the real answer to your question finally 😆*

find /var/tmp -type f fails to do what you want because the primary
argument is a symbolic link.
cd /var/tmp && find -type f will work
find /tmp -type f will work

You are already using the Gnu version of find apparently because the old
QSH find doesn't have the -type switch.

I am obviously missing something ...

if I strqsh and run

find /home -type f

I see a long list of files

But if I do the same on

find /var/tmp -type f

I see nothing
