    I have about 500 SWF files from something I've downloaded, and I want to delete them ALL with manually doing it. Can OS X do this? Is there an automator action?

    Thanks in advance.

    Just do a simple File > Find in the Finder. Select Other... in the criteria panel, then select Name Extension in the popup list that appears...then in the text field type swf. That should find them all.
