Is the brute-force method (explicit, easy to understand) good enough?

    import os
    import os.path
    import glob

    paths_to_remove = glob.glob(
            os.path.join([
                os.path.expanduser("~anthony"), "backup", "unix*"
                ]))
    for path in paths_to_remove:
        os.remove(path)
