Remove parent folder and all subfolders (custom info panels)

Question

I'm writing a script to help users install custom info panels in the Folder.userData + '/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels' location.  I have a working script to copy files, but I also want to delete previous versions of the same info panel.   I also want to allow for the possibility that could be several older versions so I need to loop through them.  I know that I need to empty the files of a folder before it can be removed.  I can remove one instance of a ninfo panel, but not several - I'm having trouble getting the function to loop.
For example, if I have two old info panel version to delete (myPanel_v1 and myPanel_v2) can use getFiles (myPanel*) to get an array with the names of the two parent folders:
~/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP/Custom%20File%20Info%20Panels/3.0/panels/myPanel_v1,~/AppData/ Roaming/Adobe/XMP/Custom%20File%20Info%20Panels/3.0/panels/myPanel_v2
What I can't do is the loop through the subfolders and their contents based on the index of this array.  Perhaps there is a completey different approach I need to take?
The code below does remove a single instance of my custom ino panel, but I can't figure out a way to make it loop.
var CS5panelsFolder = (Folder.userData + '/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels');
var xmask = 'myPanel*'
var xRemove =  (Folder (CS5panelsFolder).getFiles (xmask));  // returns an array with all folders with 'VRA_beta' in the name
for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xBin = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/bin').getFiles());
for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xLoc = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/loc').getFiles());
for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xRes = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/resources').getFiles());
for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++)
    //Loop through array of xBin files and remove them
    for (var i = 0; i < xBin.length; i++) File(xBin[i]).remove();
    //Loop through array of loc files and remove them
    for (var i = 0; i < xLoc.length; i++) File(xLoc[i]).remove();
    // Loop through array of resource files and remove them
    for (var i = 0; i < xRes.length; i++) File(xRes[i]).remove();
    // remove manifest file
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) File(xRemove[i]+'/manifest.xml').remove();
for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++)
// Remove now empty xBin folder
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]+'/bin').remove();
// Remover now empty loc folder
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]+'/loc').remove();
// Remove now empty resources folder
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]+'/resources').remove();
// Remove now empty old version folder
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]).remove();
Thanks for your help,

I now have this code that works:
var W = 'Base Folder Name';
var X = Folder(W).getFiles();
for (var Q1 = 0; Q1 < X.length; Q1++)
   if (X[Q1] instanceof Folder == true)
     var Y = Folder (X[Q1]).getFiles();
     for (var Q2 = 0; Q2 < Y.length; Q2++)
       if (Y[Q2] instanceof Folder == true)
         var Z = Folder (Y[Q2]).getFiles();
         for (var Q3 = 0; Q3 < Z.length; Q3++) File (Z[Q3]).remove();
         Folder (Y[Q2]).remove();
       else File (Y[Q2]).remove();
     Folder (X[Q1]).remove();
   else File (X[Q1]).remove();
Folder(W).remove();
