You should put some sort of qualifier in the -name option, like -name "*.logfile", depending on the naming scheme you're going for. If there isn't one, you can leave the -name "*" off altogether, as it will ignore any files beginning with "."... Unless that's what you're going for. It's also a good idea to simply move all the files to their own directory first, then examine them to make sure you aren't getting rid of anything important before removing them.
