If you do mean recursive you might look at a custom tag of mine: http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/CustomTa gs/DP_FileFind/Index.cfm
It doesn't delete now, but it does do the recursion and collects files (and filters them if you like). It would be trivial to add a "delete" in there.
