in reply to Check Directories for Files

Just use bash (I'm sorry, Richard! well, yes, bash or whatnot- but.. the real star here is;) Use gnu findutils

for dir in $(find /rootdir/101/ -type d -name "B??"); 
do find $dir -type f -exec rm '{}' \; ;
done;

# or to move elsewhere
# do find $dir -type f -exec mv '{}' /tmp/foundstuff/ \; ;

If you know to expect the filesystem hierarchy you suggested- There's not even a need to play with the B?? dirs..

$ find /rootdir/101/ -type f -exec mv '{}' /tmp/foundstuff/ \;
