how to get rid of useless, duplicates, backups files from a webroot folder

I just recove开发者_运维问答r an old website full of useless file (index2.php, index_bkup.php, test.php...), and I wonder how to make a list of these...

Solution can be either server side or client side (but I can't do too much thing serverside)...

As I say the site is pretty old and use a lot of include() function.

Thx for ideas !

I don't know if this should be automated, as it could delete files that look like garbage.

You could do...

$files = glob('path/*.php');

$files = preg_grep('/\d+\.php$/', $files);

foreach($files as $file) {
   unlink($file);
}

This will get all PHP files in a directory and delete ones which have a number before the extension, for example index2.php.

It won't match test.php, but you could modify it to.

Either way, it may be better using grep to find these, and then determining on a file by file basis whether they should be deleted or not.

Please backup first.
