For a one time delete something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl


$dir="/home/";
while(<$dir/*>)
         {
         ($junk, $uid) = split /\/\//;
         system ("echo /bin/rm -rf $_/.recycle");
         print "$uid.";
         }
print "\n";

just remove the echo from the system call and the above should work. 
Echo is there to test before running ;-)
