How do I remove all .pyc files from a project?

Question

I've renamed some files in a fairly large project and want to remove the .pyc files they've left behind. I tried the bash script:

 rm -r *.pyc 

But that doesn't recurse through the folders as I thought it would. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

find . -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -f {} \;
