You can use ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND in your image recipe to do some 
last-minute filesystem cleanup.

However, in most cases it's much better to determine what recipe puts the 
files there and modify the recipe or remove the package. It would help a lot 
if you would reveal what files you want to remove and why.
