I can do the following in Linux:

Just beat me by a 1 minute. (techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/…) offers help and recommends del /S command. – secureBadshah Sep 12 '11 at 11:22

My way: install Cygwin, find . -name '*.zip' -delete
User way: Find '.zip' in Total Commander, "feed to list box", select all, delete.
