#!/bin/sh
rm -R "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist"

#!/bin/bash

for dir in /Users/*; do
    if [[ -e "${dir}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist" ]]; then
        rm "${dir}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist"
    fi

Alternatively, you could just pull a working plist from a new user and push it out with FEU checked.

Hello all, having a similar issue. I am trying to remove the below file from the library for all users on the computer through a bash script but the wildcard does not seem to do anything. Testing the script locally by running it on mac os x terminal.

File to be deleted: com.apple.eap.bindings.XXXXXXX.plist

#!/bin/bash

for dir in /Users/*;
do
    if [[ -e "${dir}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.eap.bindings.*" ]]; then
        rm "${dir}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.eap.bindings.*"
    fi
done

The script just doesn't delete the required file. I tried removing the quotes as well and still won't delete. What am I doing wrong here please?
Thanks.

Test before implementing, but this worked for me--running as root:

#!/bin/bash
for user in /Users/*
do
    for f in "$user"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.eap.bindings.*
    do
    if [ -e "$f" ];then
        echo "Removing $f"
        rm $f
    else
        echo "Files not found in $user"
    fi
    sleep 1
    done
done

Why not just use:

rm -f /Users/*/Library/Preferences/com.apple.eap.bindings*

Bash will expand it as necessary.

@mgrev

Just for future searchers as I am looking for something from an old thread I participated in and came across this.

The * needs to be outside the quotes.

And @Aaron has the better method for this use case.

@mgrev @jacob_salmela I attempted running both of your bash scripts to no avail. The files I am targeting are Microsoft plist files within the CrashReporter folder of each user's home directory.

The issue is: I am not getting any error/syntax messages, yet the plist files remain.

@jacob_salmela's script returns that the "files not found", as the script dictates. @mgrev's script returns nothing, but removes nothing. The separate scripts are below.

#!/bin/sh
for dir in /Users/*
do
    for f in "$dir"/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Microsoft*
    do
    if [ -e "$f" ];then
        echo "Removing $f"
        rm -f $file
    else
        echo "Files not found in $dir"
    fi
    sleep 1
    done
done

#!/bin/sh
for dir in /Users/*
 do
if [[ -e "${dir}/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Microsoft Word_"*  ]]; then
        rm  "${dir}/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Microsoft Word_"*;
    fi
done

I have tried multiple variations of both; moving wildcards and trying different flags. Any help would be appreciated.
