You can do it globally via SSH with:
find . -iname 'thumbs.db' -exec rm -rfv {} +
That will delete thumbs.db in the current and all sub-directories.
- ok, but every time i visit the directory, they are made again. Not all thumbs files are impossible to delete and i like to keep the thumbs, because they are usefull.
I had a thumbs file that i could not see in explorer, but still was there so i could not delete the dir. Renaming it on another computer(there it was again...) did it for me.
Thanks for your sollution, if in a next win10 update mine doesn't work anymore, ill try yours. - what is ssh? And how can i use it?

As far as removing thumbs.db files goes, the best option is to tell Windows not to create them in the first place.
