SSH - find (by name) and delete a directory and its contents

Vote count:

0

I have been able to create the following command, which works to an extent:

find . -type d -name "thumbs" -delete

However, it only deleted the empty folders. If it found a folder called 'thumbs' that wasn't empty, it didn't delete it.

How can I find all folders called 'thumbs' and delete them, including their contents?
