Use cfdirectory to list the content of the directory. Then loop through the
contents and delete the files you don't want.
<cfdirectory action="list" directory = "mydirectorypath\"
name="dirlist">
<cfloop query="dirlist">
YOU COULD INSERT A TEST HERE TO SEE IF YOU NEED THE
FILE (E.G., It's referenced in a DB somewhere)
<cffile action="delete"
file="mydirectorypath\#dirlist.name#">
</cfloop>
