I have directory with huge number of directories (names by date artwork
requested and client id number) with clients artwork.
by accident, directory was opened by FrontPage and now in each directory
is created _vti_cnf directory with copy of the artwork.
i have to delete all those '_vti_cnf'
rm -r directoryname will recursively remove the directory and
everything in it
