This is a solution that I worked out

#rm $(find test/ -type f)

rm removes the files that are expanded from the find command. find is 
locating all of the files that are ordinary files with the -type f argument. 
I tried it on cygwin and it worked and test was the top level of the 
directory tree that I set up to experiment with.
