find . -iname "build" -type d -print -execdir rm -R '{}' \;

This is dangerous and error prone. You would be better off using a .gitignore file instead.
Thanks for the comment.
Luckily for me, working on experimental stuff means I don’t have to worry about messing up important files and I actually learn something along the way.
