The comamnd:
#find /path/to/start/deleting -type d -name _vti_\*
worked fine to give the listing of what to delete, but when just
adding the
"-delete" at the end didn't delete, just ran the listing again.
I forgot that adding the -type d won't let it delete non-empty
directories. Try running it like:
find /path/to/start/deleting -name _vti_\* -delete
(^_^)
Nope. Thate didn't delete either.

find /path/to/start/deleting -name _vti_\* -exec rm -Rd {} \;
Pardon my answering my own post, but after reading the find manpage, I
think perhaps
find -d /path/to/start/deleting -type d -name _vti_\* -exec rm -Rd {} \;
would be better. The -d option makes find visit the contents of a
directory before the directory itself. The one without the -d option
deletes the topmost directory it finds and then tries to traverse
downwards, which of course causes a warning. It still works though.
