Do be certain you want to remove all the items mentioned. Then run these
two commands to remove each. Those are not single-quote marks, they are
backtics.
/bin/rm -rf `find /path/to/the/head/of/your/problem/directory -name #cvs.lock`
/bin/rm -rf `find /path/to/the/head/of/your/problem/directory -name
#cvs..wfl.pilot.25274`
For instance if I wanted to delete all files (and directories) named
yousuck.txt from anywhere under my public_html directory, I would do
/bin/rm -rf `find /home/tomki/public_html -name yousuck.txt`
Caution is advised.
--Tomki
