Delete all files with a certain extension using Android ADB

How can I delete all files with a certain extension, for example .png using Android ADB?

Removing one file would be:

adb shell rm downloads/bg.png

But how can I delete all png images on the entire device?

It's very close to what @Robert mentioned in the comments

$ find -L /sdcard -name "*.png" -exec rm {} \; 2>/dev/null

the only catch is that /sdcard is a symlink so you have to follow them (-L).
