I dont know what is the exact purpose of your question but... files can
get the extensions changed, can be ziped, etc.
I always was a fan of updatedb and locate that is much faster than a
find, but its a "first index then search tool".
Its another option to find files with patterns in the names or specific
extensions.
Theres some scripts on the net that make reports on disk usage, (you can
make a cron job an receive e-mails about "huge" differences in specific
paths), its usefull to see that someone uploaded his entire mp3
collection for the server for example, or tried to zip it and hide in
some place. And use this to control disk usage.
Another thing that I done too was block some file extensions on the
clients antivirus, some antivirus for M$ have management components too,
so every time someone try to play some file a virus warning is displayed
(I know, its not a proper solution, nor a good message to be displayed)
and this is logged on the machine that runs the management server to be
inspected later :)

Dear Michael
You can use find it is a good unix tool
To get a
list of files in the home dir ending on mp3 use
find /home -name
"*.mp3" -print
To delete files in the home dir ending on mp3
find /home -name "*.mp3" -delete
search google for "find
examples linux" and you will get plenty
