Answer 1

I wrote a simple php code for you.

$basepath = "/home/mohsen/Desktop/public_html/";
$dirNameToRemove = "PaxHeader";

function findAndRemove($path)
{
    global $dirNameToRemove;

    $items = scandir($path);

    foreach($items as $item)
    {
        if(!is_dir($path . $item) || $item == '.' || $item == '..')
            continue;

        if($item == $dirNameToRemove)
        {
            #remove directory
            rmdir($path . $item);
        }
        else
        {
            findAndRemove($path . $item . "/");
        }
    }
}

findAndRemove($basepath);

$basepath variable is a base path to your public_html directory $dirNameToRemove variable is the name of directory you want to delete recursive.

Enjoy it!
