    First, I apologize for asking something that's probably easily found on the internet, but I figured I'd get more specific answers quickly here and learn how to use AppleScript another time.

    I want the fastest way to move all files of a certain type (*.imported) from my desktop or some specific folder to the Trash. Preferably, this would happen automatically without my input - but I also don't want it to be something that takes up a lot of memory in the background.

    If necessary, it can be triggered by another action - or i don't mind triggering it with a Quicksilver hotkey or even just running it as a script manually.

    Thanks.
