I would do tihs
find . -type f -name "*.o" -print | more
Do that first to see what you will be deleting. If it all looks good, then
find . -type f -name "*.o" -exec rm -f () \;
or
find . -type f -name "*.o" -print | xargs rm -f
(both will do the same thing, the second one is easier for me to remember).
