How to remove all *.lnk files from pen drive

Yesterday, I have connected my pen drive on someone else's system. Now, when I return home and connected my pen drive on my system, I have found lnk files for each file and directory in my pendrive. It is a waste of time deleting those files one by one. So, here is a simple command to remove all lnk files.

# find /path/to/pendrive -name '*.lnk' -exec rm -v '{}' ';'

  1. Sounds like "someone else" has a virus...

    Also, with find on Fedora, you should just be able to use -delete.
