I have a client that just switched their hosting and had someone do the file migration. When they did this for some reason in every directory and sub-directory etc, a new folder/directory called "_notes" was created. They are interfering with the site's functions. . . this site has hundreds of directories and it will take forever to find and delete all instances of this folder . . . is there an easier way to do this? I'm using "Fetch" for ftp but will be searching for a different ftp client that has a search and delete function.

Does anyone know of ftp software that has this type of function? Or has a better solution for deleting all the instances of this folder?

Don't do it remotely. If available, do it with Perl directly on the host.
