Look at this example:



$ ls -l /home/kossak/.asdf/shims/gettext
-rw-rw-r-- 1 kossak kossak 0 Feb 6 13:51 /home/kossak/.asdf/shims/gettext
$ find ~/.asdf/shims -name 'gettext' -or -name 'gettext.sh'
/home/kossak/.asdf/shims/gettext
$ find ~/.asdf/shims -name 'gettext' -or -name 'gettext.sh' -delete
$ find ~/.asdf/shims -name 'gettext' -or -name 'gettext.sh'
/home/kossak/.asdf/shims/gettext


Why gettext file is not being deleted?
