If you want to delete, for example, only .bak and .tmp files in a directory tree,

within sub folders named tmp or save, then sfk delete helps with its very flexible file selection syntax. Free open source command line tool for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

sfk delete dir ext1 [ext2 ...] [-yes]
sfk deltree targetdir [-yes]
sfk del -dir dir1 dir2 -file .ext1

delete files or dirs, even if they're write protected.
deltree or rmtree deletes a directory tree with all contents.

options
   -yes          really delete the files. without option -yes,
                 del only lists the files that would be deleted.
   -withdirs     if you supply a file mask other than "*",
   or -wdir      and file deletion leads to an empty directory,
                 then the directory is removed as well. if you
                 supply no file mask (or "*"), then every
                 empty directory is always deleted. this option
                 cannot be used with chaining, as chaining passes
                 only filenames, but no processed directory names.
   -hidden       include hidden and system files.
                 this option is default when using deltree.
   -quiet        print nothing
   -stat         show statistics even with -quiet
   -stoponerr    stop chain execution if delete is incomplete.
   -retry=n[:d]  if delete fails, retry up to n times waiting
                 d ms inbetween. default with deltree (not del)
                 is -retry=2:100

command return codes
   rc 0 : ok all deleted
   rc 5 : delete incomplete
   rc 9 : sfk rc with -stoponerr

lazy confirmation on command chaining
   if you selected files in a command chain, then want to add +del
   you may type "+del." (with a dot) or "+del!" (windows only)
   instead of "+del -yes" to actually delete the files.

examples
   sfk del -withdirs src .bak
      deletes .bak files within src and all subdirs.
      if a directory contained only .bak files,
      it is deleted as well.

   sfk del -yes -withdirs -hidden tmp
      delete tmp with all files, including hidden files.

   sfk deltree. tmp
      the same as above, with "." as a short for -yes.

   sfk list -dir src -file foo*.hpp +del
      first list target files, then add +del

   sfk fromclip +del
      take a list of filenames from clipboard and delete them.
      see "sfk help shell" on how to configure your windows
      command prompt, to allow easy copying of filename lists.
 
example with output:

   I plan to delete all .bak files in directory tree "src1",
   and all .tmp files in  directory tree "src2":

   sfk del -dir src1 -file .bak -dir src2 -file .tmp
   
      [simulating:]
      DEL : src1\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarGlass.bak
      DEL : src1\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarMug.bak
      DEL : src1\FooBank\DB\include\DBController.bak
      DEL : src1\FooBank\GUI\include\FooGUI.bak
      DEL : src2\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarGlass.tmp
      DEL : src2\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarMug.tmp
      DEL : src2\FooBank\DB\include\DBController.tmp
      DEL : src2\FooBank\GUI\include\FooGUI.tmp
      10 files would be deleted. 
      [say -yes, -del. or -del! to execute.]

   But I see: oops, I want to keep DBController.bak as it may be
   needed later... same applies for FooGUI.tmp. No problem -
   above is just a simulation, so nothing happened yet.

   I adapt the command to:

   sfk del -dir src1 -file .bak !DBCon -dir src2 -file .tmp !FooGUI

      [simulating:]
      DEL : src1\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarGlass.bak
      DEL : src1\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarMug.bak
      DEL : src1\FooBank\GUI\include\FooGUI.bak
      DEL : src2\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarGlass.tmp
      DEL : src2\FooBank\BarDriver\include\BarMug.tmp
      DEL : src2\FooBank\DB\include\DBController.tmp
      8 files would be deleted. 
      [say -yes, -del. or -del! to execute.]

   The result looks OK, so I add "-yes" to really delete the files.
