The print is there to print the files as they are processed, obviously.
Whenever doing anything that destroys data, I tend to err on the side of
caution and be as verbose as possible. 

The -delete switch cannot delete directories - only files. It's
certainly not needed in this situation, but isn't going to hurt anything
either. Like I said, I originally copied the wrong alias which was
written for something else. Then I quickly replied to correct it. 

Feel free to modify the command to your heart's content. : )
