Yes, that will work for deleting files, as only files will be returned
with "-type f".

Sharon is trying to delete directories as well, so no "-type f" in her
script.

Suspect that's where the problem lies, find is getting confused if it's
trying to exec on a file that has already been deleted.

Never actually done this, but I'd be tempted to do two runs: find files
and delete them, then find directories and delete them?
