Because I'm so m@d with tha ol' skool skillz, I like to use .BAT files for that stuff.  RMDIR /Q /S is really good at axing folders and subfolders.  So you just need to use DIR to enumerate all folders on the c: drive that start with "vectorworks*" and then operate on each of them.  Something like this:

@echo off
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion

FOR /F "usebackq tokens=*" %%A  IN (`dir /S /B /AD c:\vectorworks*`) DO (
   ECHO Removing folder "%%A"
   IF EXIST "%%A" rmdir /q /s "%%A"
)
exit 0
