Get a list of all the files which have the same name pattern. This will give you a chance to verify what is deleted before actually deleting them. To do so, type: dir filename.ext /a /b /s (where filename.extis the name of the files which you’d like to find; wildcards are also acceptable.)
For example: dir file.txt /a /b /s
List all files with same name into a file. dir thumbs.db /a /b /s >> filelist.txt
Delete those files. Type del filename.ext /a /s (where filename.extis the name of the files which you’d like to delete; wildcards are also acceptable.)
For example: del file.txt /a /s
