I am trying to delete Nexus package which are associated with more than one version. I am running a curl command to delete it, but I want a generic command which will delete all package under a folder

This is the curl command I am using  
curl -v -u ${NEXUS\_CREDS} -X “DELETE” http://${SONATYPE\_NEXUS\_SERVICE\_SERVICE\_HOST}:${SONATYPE\_NEXUS\_SERVICE\_SERVICE\_PORT}/repository/${NEXUS\_REPO\_NAME}/${APP\_NAME}/${PACKAGE}

where PACKAGE ="${APP\_NAME}-${VERSION}.tar.gz". I need to provide a command which will not delete a particular version only.
