Be very careful using that line!

If you have files or directories with whitespace or other special items 
in the name it can produce very unexpected behavior. In the case of 
whitespaces in filenames a better choise is to use

find . -name '...' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Look at the man pages for find and xargs for more information.
