[newbie] Mass directory delete

[Vic]

Hi

I need to delete a bunch of directories called .xvpics that has
somehow got scattered all over my system (I don't know how)
I don't want these dirs in there, they take up space, and I
want them gone.

What is the correct command to do a mass dir erase without
the shell beanhatching about "that is a directory" crap?

I just want to know what to type in to make it do as I tel it
and erase all these little stupid useless directories.

Thanks
