Please help. I was copying a zip files from a website using the copy() function. I accidently messed up my loop, and now my zip files are growing and growing. Even though the zips don't belong on the server I am copying to, they are making blank zip files. The loop is never ending. I've made about 20 thousand zip files and I'm frantically panicking. How can I KILL THIS SCRIPT???

Thank you so much

I did delete it and it didn't stop the script. It went to about 25 thousand zip files

if you're on linux you can kill the process.

ps -ef | grep "user that is running process"
find the process and type
kill [process id]
