Delete files Recursively *thumbs*.jpg

Sorry, for this additional question. You solution worked, and I had an s in the file name when trying your solution, and noticed it later.

Thank you for your reply. I attempted to list the files using the command below, but nothing showed up? There was no listing of files, but when in the directory, simply typing dir (bin/bash) lists the files that I want to delete.

Code:
find . -name \*thumbs\*.jpg -type f

NAME
igrep - search images for matching metadata SYNOPSIS
igrep [options] pattern files... DESCRIPTION
The igrep utility is invoked as follows: igrep [options] pattern filename... Where pattern is a POSIX.2 regular expression (just like the Unix/Linux grep(1) command), and filename (and any following names) specify images or directories that should be searched. An image file will "match" if any of its metadata contains values contain substring that are recognized regular expression. The image files may be of any format recognized by OpenImageIO (i.e., for which ImageInput plugins are available). Example: $ igrep Jack *.jpg bar.jpg: Keywords = Carly; Jack foo.jpg: Keywords = Jack test7.jpg: ImageDescription = Jack on vacation For a complete description, see /usr/share/doc/libopenimageio-dev/openimageio.pdf.gz. OPTIONS
--help Print help message -i Ignore upper/lower case distinctions -v Invert match (select non-matching files) -E Pattern is an extended regular expression -f Match against file name as well as metadata -l List the matching files (no detail) -r Recurse into directories -d Print directories (when recursive) -a Search all subimages of each file SEE ALSO iconvert(1), idiff(1), iinfo(1), iprocess(1), iv(1), maketx(1), oiiotool(1).
