How to delete files except one file in the Ubuntu directory?

Dear Vaynald, 

To delete all the files, first, you need to enter to your considered directory and then use the below PHP codes:

rm !(file.txt)

Or

rm -f !(file.txt) 

Note that you need to type the name of the file you do not want to delete Instead of file.txt.

Thank you for sending the message.

Good Luck
