Could you, in your script do something like:
cd /Path_to_Data_Root
find . -name "*.chk" -print -prune -exec rm -rf {} \;

(With most shells there's a restrictionor used to be). I'm also reluctant to use a glob with rm without the -i. With find(1) you can do a dry run first before giving it the -delete argument. The OP also wants to use -maxdepth 1 with find(1) if he doesn't want to traverse the tree below his target dir.

Well, if that is the problem, find is the answer.

If you really want to "delete all the ".chk" files extension files at a time"
find path -name '*.chk' -print -prune -exec rm -rf {} + \;

And more efficient:
find path -name '*.chk' -delete
