Remove files in bulk

I converted a lot of mobi files to epub and now want to delete them to save diskspace. I can remove them one by one. Is there a way (I can't find it) to remove them in bulk?

I want to remove only the mobi files, not the epub (-:

I can remove the files themselves of course, but won't that disrupt the Calibre database?

There is an option to remove specific formats from selected books under "Remove Books".
