In Unix-land, I would use:
find . -type f -name README.txt -ex rm {} \;
(Alternatively, and probably a little more circumspect: "find
/dirname/subdirname/etc .....")
Is that valid syntax in Linux?

Light a man a fire, he is warm for the night.
Light a man afire, he is warm for the rest of his life.
