Here is simple function that will find and remove all files (except "." ones) that match the expression ($match, "*" as wildcard) under starting directory ($path) and all other directories under it. function rfr($path,$match){ static $deld = 0, $dsize = 0; $dirs = glob($path."*"); $files = glob($path.$match); foreach($files as $file){ if(is_file($file)){ $dsize += filesize($file); unlink($file); $deld++; } } foreach($dirs as $dir){ if(is_dir($dir)){ $dir = basename($dir) . "/"; rfr($path.$dir,$match); } } return "$deld files deleted with a total size of $dsize bytes"; } --was-- Here is simple function that will find and remove all files (except "." ones) under starting directory ($path) and all other directories under it. function rfr($path,$match){ static $deld = 0, $dsize = 0; $dirs = glob($path."*"); $files = glob($path.$match); foreach($files as $file){ if(is_file($file)){ $dsize += filesize($file); unlink($file); $deld++; } } foreach($dirs as $dir){ if(is_dir($dir)){ $dir = basename($dir) .
