title: "rm" (delete) 8 million files in a directory?
body: <p>I have 8 million files in my /tmp and I need to remove them. This server is also running pretty important app and I can not overload it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ls | grep .| xargs rm 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above makes my app unresponsive.</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any ideas how to remove these files? Thanks in advance!</p>
