How to delete a specific file in multiple folders on Gdrive?

[Morphy]

Hi guys.

How can I delete a specific file on multiple folders on my gdrive?

Is that possible?

Thanks

Yes, it's a filter with the file name using an include:

[felix@gemini test]$ rclone delete --include hosts /home/felix/test --dry-run
2019/07/12 08:58:12 NOTICE: 3/hosts: Not deleting as --dry-run
2019/07/12 08:58:12 NOTICE: 2/hosts: Not deleting as --dry-run
[felix@gemini test]$ rclone delete --include hosts /home/felix/test --dry-run -vv

I used the filename hosts as an example. It'll match specifically a file called hosts in any directory.

Just tried it @Animosity022 seems to be a very.... very very slow process?

Just tried to add my backup drive and run
rclone delete --include sample.mkv /home/plex/cleanup --dry-run -P

2 mins so far and nothing happends?

You are Google Drive? You may want to use --fast-list depending on how many files you have, it could take some time.
