Nits:

* -r is probably not desired for this problem.  If you run across
   a directory named "something.doc", it's clearly not a file and you
   may not want to delete it.

* -f is possibly not desired for this problem.  If you run across a
   file that rm won't kill by default, you clearly thought it was
   worthy of protection at some point, and may want to look at it
   before nuking it.
