Remove Windows Thumbs.db Files

[Simon Ives]

Thanks for the replies.

I ssh'd into the file server and ran: 

find /path/to/directory -name "Thumbs.db" -delete

along with:

find /path/to/directory -name "desktop.ini" -delete

and

find /path/to/directory -name "AlbumArt*" -delete

to remove the Windows files with great success and all in about 3
seconds!
