    _______________________________________________________

Details:

All actions whose main use is to give useful output (to send to xargs, etc.)
should have a NUL-separated alternate. -prune does not have this.

find . -name 'bin*' -type d -prune | xargs -r rm -r --

But, what about unusual directory names for 'bin*' matches?
