try something like:

rm -rf *.m3u

when in the directory.

hmm, doesn't seem to work, well, in the subdirectories at least.. i odn't want to go through each directory deleting it

This will do it:
find . -name "*.m3u" -exec rm {} \;

You may want to do it with an ls (find . -name "*.m3u" -exec ls {} \

first, just to see that it is listing the appropriate files.
