search and destroy

[Anthony]

i’d like to search an entire directory and delete all occurances of the same file.
i have some old .htaccess files floating around and i’d like to kill them all at once.
starting in /home/
cd /home/ | locate .htaccess
will dish the goods, but how to destroy ?

wouldn’t rm -f *.htaccess work???

edit.. Darn it.. that would only work in the /home directory… or use the KDE or Gnome file mangers to find all the .htaccess files, select all and delete… hmmmm

there is no gui installed, only via terminal…

just got back from some camping, will get my linux bible out soon to see what it says.
