you can always do
find /tmp/kde-*/ -iname "*wav" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -vf
the advantage over doing using rm * or for * in ... is that if you have LOTS of files, the expanded list of files may be too much. find | xargs will deal with each file in turn. ( -print0 and -0 is to use NULL char as a list delimiter instead of space... ).
