As with running any terminal commands you should fully understand what you are doing before preceding.

open xterm and type:

Code:

cd MyDocs/Downloads/NameOfExtractedFolder
for i in `find . | grep desktop.ini`; do rm -i "$i"; done

The first line will change directories into the extracted folder directory.
The second line will search all subdirectories for desktop.ini and then ask you if you want to delete it.

That should work. If you have any issues report back.
