It depends on the system, but rm *.pk4 would work on a Unix shell.

No it did not work. I am using Cpanel to make this and it does not seem to work I have it run the command every min on the hour and every day and month.

Are the pk4 files in subdirectories or what? If so, you could do something like this:
/usr/bin/find /path_to_base_dir -name "*.pk4" | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -f

Note that, If you only want to delete files which are older than a given amount of time you should use something like the mtime switch.

/usr/bin/find /path_to_base_dir -mtime +7 -name "*.pk4" | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/rm -f

The above code would only delete pk4 files which are more than 7 days old.

I get the first URL area but on the second URL area I don't get is there supposed to be a difference or both codes are supposed to be the same. I just want to clarify things.

EDIT Also cpanel's cron job keeps hiding the other half of the code. Is this a problem or not?
