Delete a specific type of files when they exist.

Hi all,

I want to delete the all of the cache-2 files under a directory, so I
use the following line to do this:

if [ -f *.cache-2 ] rm *.cache-2

But it seems that this -f parameter in the _if_ command will not work
with wildcard, i.e., the  _[ -f *.cache-2 ]_ isn't a valid arg.  Any
hints on this issue?
