No need for all that. As the affected user, simply do:
$ cd ~
$ find . -type f -name "*.msf" -delete
The first command changes to the user's home directory. The second
command finds all ".msf" files and deletes them. There is no need to
put this in a script. Does not require using "su -" to become root and
all the dangers inherent there.
