Parent-dir is a dir above the many directories
fileToBeRemoved is the specific file.
find /parent-dir -name fileToBeRemoved -exec rm {} \;
be careful !
Test the command fist by:
find /parent-dir -name fileToBeRemoved -exec echo rm {} \;
Now it wil only echo fileToBeRemoved.
When you are sure the command is correct, remove the echo and
execute to command again.
