I've just copied a directory from my wife's Windows XP box to my Hardy
file server in preparation to reformat her PC to run Ubuntu solely. As
I copied the entire directory (her Windows XP user directory) along came
some annoying and unnecessary Windows files, specifically a whole heap
of files called Thumbs.db. I'm looking for a way to delete ALL of the
Thumbs.db files from ALL of the sub-directories in as few commands as
possible.
There are about 700 directories in the "My Music" directory alone, most
containing Thumbs.db files. I don't really want to have to enter each
directory and remove them individually.
Thanks.
