hi ...
don't run this command ...within any dir ... you need to know what you are
doing ...the above is just an example .... in which it will only remove file
and will keep the directories.

and more  ... grep -v *.jpg    etc ... to avoid deleting that files

You should always test ... before you do this in production.
