The results of the -e option is that a message containing the file being removed is echoed to standard output. A possible replacement to this would be if you can use the xargs command to execute the rm, you can use the -t option on the xargs statement. The -t option will echo the command out to standard output before executing it. The output is slightly different, but both are rarely used, and usually used for some type of logging. Another alternative would be to add an echo command prior to the rm that echos the same message as the -e.
