Something similar to this might help:
qsh (start the command shell)
cd <wherever the objects in question are>
mkdir foo
mv '/test/rpts'* foo (or suitable filter that works for ls i.e. "ls -d
<filter>" produces a list of only the objects in question)
cd foo
rm -rf *
cd ..
rmdir foo

If you can't get a ls filter to work, you could move all the good files
somewhere else and rm *

The switches for ls are a little different on the i than what I'm used
to, so check the doc on ls -d and make sure that does directory entries.
I'm pretty sure that rm -rf works the same (recurse and force.) The
basic idea is to move them somewhere, then delete everything in the new
location.
