CRONJOB to delete auto-generated files

[mousepotatoe]

I run CRON every 30 minutes on many of my websites that processes the websites scripts, but every time it runs, it creates a file in /home/username/
as you see below..

./ send.php.10 send.php.21 send.php.32 send.php.43 send.php.7
../ send.php.11 send.php.22 send.php.33 send.php.44 send.php.8
.contactemail send.php.12 send.php.23 send.php.34 send.php.45 send.php.9
.cpanel-ducache send.php.13 send.php.24 send.php.35 send.php.46 .spamkey
etc/ send.php.14 send.php.25 send.php.36 send.php.47 tmp/
.lastlogin send.php.15 send.php.26 send.php.37 send.php.48 .trash/
mail/ send.php.16 send.php.27 send.php.38 send.php.49 [email protected]
.neomail/ send.php.17 send.php.28 send.php.39 send.php.5
public_ftp/ send.php.18 send.php.29 send.php.4 send.php.50
public_html/ send.php.19 send.php.3 send.php.40 send.php.51
send.php* send.php.2 send.php.30 send.php.41 send.php.52
send.php.1 send.php.20 send.php.31 send.php.42 send.php.6

How can i create a single cronjob that will delete these files once a day?
It would have to be something like
del /home/*/send.php.*
but I cant quite figure it out..

Any help would be appreciated..

Wouldn't it be better to change the script so that it doesn't create those files?

Cronjob to delete files..

Yes it would be better, but the cron code is encrypted and uneditable by me, so that part is out of my hands.

That would be tricky

OK, this will do it, but use with extreme care:

find /home/ -name send.php.* -maxdepth 2 | xargs rm -Rfv

Probably best to test it beforehand with:

find /home/ -name send.php.* -maxdepth 2 | xargs ls -la
