Assuming Windows, because you specified VB, you may have a reason for
wanting to use a script, but you can do this from a Windows command
prompt with del *.backup.fm and the /s switch to sweep recursively
through sub-directories. If you're unsure about the command, use the
/p switch too, to force a confirmation prompt.
Another option is to use the Windows Search tool to identify all
*.backup.fm files in a directory tree, Ctrl-a to select them all, and
Ctrl-x or Del to delete them.
