rm exclude

With help from Google and Linux forum, found a cool command that will delete everything else but not the folder or file name in the specified field behold the command of destiny!

rm -r `ls | grep -v 'snapshots'`

Make sure that around the piped ls command you have tilda and a single quote around the file/folder name.

Chomputers away!
