How do I recursively delete folders from a mercury tracking system

Question

I have a working directory structure as shown below:

mercurial_working_dir:

• project1
• project2
• project3

Each project folder has public folders that I want to cancel from mercurial.eg: I do not want any file to be tracked in the / metadata folder, which is shared by three projects. As far as I know, I should use the hg remove -Af command with the specified files. Is there a way to define regular expressions in a command to recursively "delete" the current version of any file in the metadata folder that is placed in all my projects?

hg rm "glob:**/metadata/**"
