Well, the easiest and safest way you can use, is to use the euphoria
dir() function to get the file listing of that directory. Then look
trough the sequence looking for the files with that extention and using
deleteFile() with each one.

Untested code:

constant Where = "C:\My Documents"

sequence dirlist

dirlist = dir(Where)
for I = 1 to length(dirlist) do
   if find(".doc",dirlist[I][D_NAME]) then -- D_NAME is defined in
file.e
      deleteFile(Where & dirlist[I][D_NAME])
   end if
end for
