Hi John,
You might try something along the lines of:
find / -user jack -ok rm {} ;
removes all files owned by jack
or
find / -user lee -atime +30 -mtime +60 -ok rm {} ;
The above removes all files not accessed within the last 30 days or
modified within the last 60 days and owned by user lee. It will ask the
user before execution.
or
find / -user lee -cpio /dev/rfd096ds15 Backup to floppy
or
find / -user lee -exec du {} ;
Display disk usuage for user lee

The commands are from an old SCO Unix Operating System User's Reference,
so you will probably need to research the syntax and adjust to exactly
delete your target files.
