you can always do 

find /tmp/kde-*/ -iname "*wav" -print0 | xargs -0 rm -vf

the advantage over doing using rm * or for * in ... is that if you have LOTS of 
files, the expanded list of files may be too much. find | xargs will deal with 
each file in turn. ( -print0 and -0 is to use NULL char as a list delimiter 
instead of space... ).
