Well, there's no completely "safe" way that might not nuke something you
don't intend, but....

find . -type d -name 'nonsense' -exec rm -rf {} \;

Starts in the current directory, walks the tree, anything that is a
directory and has the name "nonsense" is "rm -rf'd".

Just don't be wrong about any of those directories being or having in
them something you don't want nuked.  "rm -rf" does exactly what you
tell it to and it's entirely possible to really hose yourself with it
(e.g. "rm -rf /" will do exactly what you think it might.)
