The curly brackets <code>{}</code> are replaced with the current discovered file. The semicolon <code>;</code> signals the end of the arguments passed to <code>rm</code> The backslash <code>\</code> escapes the semicolon <code>;</code> Thanks Florian,
you are absolutely right, rm will be executed for each file discovered by find.
The curly brackets {} are replaced with the current discovered file.
The semicolon ; signals the end of the arguments passed to rm
The backslash \ escapes the semicolon ;
