You may have omitted a '-name' there.
Yes - simple typo.
Either way, simpler is:
find . -name "*.o" -delete
Again, yes, but that does not demonstrate the file name substitution in the use of the "{}" string which was the object of Michael's (and Mark's) suggestion. It is that usage with touch -r that I was asking about.
