How can I delete files within subfolders?

Hi matlab users,

I would like to delete specific files within subfolders in my directory. I have about a 100 subject folders in one directory (subj 01001, 01002 etc). I would like to remove only the .nii files within a subfolder 'rest', which is in all the subject's folders. So far I have figured out how to do this for 1 subject at a time. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the .nii files within al the subfolders of the subjects at once? This what I am using for one subject: delete('/data/caroline/01001/rest/*.nii")

Does anyone have a script for this?

Thank you in advance!

get the list of all the sub folders in a variable ,For example variable 'a'

Then delete the files using below command

for it=1:n %n is the length of the folder list
delete(sprintf('/data/caroline/01001/%s/*.nii"',a{it}))
end
