[NTLUG:Discuss] What's the bash equiv of the DOS for % in?

[Richard Geoffrion]

Brief:  I need to clean up every instance of I file that I untarred into the
wrong directory.

Verbose: I untarred a file into a directory and I trashed it up.  I went
ahead and untarred the file into its own subdirectory but I want to
automatically remove all of the untarred files from the first subdir.

In DOS I could go to the correct subdir and issue the command.....

for %i in (*.*) do del ..\%i

So how do I do this in Linux?

Thanks.
