You can make a class which implements interface FilenameFilter (override
accept method).
Then create a File object from you directory path, and call listFiles method
and give it as argument
an instance of your class which implements FilenameFilter .

This should return only the files you want. Iterate through that list and
call delete on each file.

HTH,
Cristi

PS: you can find out in API documentation how to do this. If you can't,
write again and I'll give a sample.
