At the top level directory:

  find . -type f -exec rm {} \;

Or, for ANY directory:

  find /path/to/dir -type f -exec rm {} \;

Or you could do it this way:

  find /path/to/dir -print0 | xargs -0 rm

As always, BE CAREFUL when doing something like that.  You don't want to
delete all of the files from the wrong directory tree!
