Subject: Delete IFS files WITHOUT deleting the directory

Here's my issue...

I have a couple folders in the IFS that I do some processing to in our
overnight procedure.  During the day, many pdf files are created and
stored in folder1.  In the overnight process, these files are renamed
and moved to another folder (folder2).

What I want to do is; in the overnight procedure, go back to folder 1
and delete any stragler files that may be there.  I don't want to delete
the folder they reside in.  These folders are not in QDLS.  They are in
the regular IFS.

Another issue is that I do not know the names of the files to be
deleted.  
Isn't there some simple way to just access an IFS folder with a CL
command and delete anything that's in that folder?  If not, you would
think that IBM would have come up with something like this YEARS ago.
