Linux Shell: remove all HTML files in tree while leaving directory structure

Question

I'm trying to remove all .html files from the directory generated and from all subfolders there but it needs to leave all other files and directories alone.

I tried going through folder by folder and running rm *.html but this takes a long time as there are 20+ subfolders which also have subfolders. I tried looking the man pages for rm but nothing obvious jumped out. I'm sure there's a way to do this in one shot but I don't know how. Any ideas?

I think this may work:

cd generated

find . -type f -iname "*.html" -delete
