Batch delete layer by name

Does anyone have a script to delete a layer by name that I can use on a number of files? For example, I would like to delete the layer named "text" from a number of Photoshop files. It would be fine to either delete the layer in all the files open in Photoshop or to have the script process a folder. Thanks!

"text" as name standalone or

"text" included somewhere in layer name?

"text" layer name only one time exists per document or

more times?

"text" layer name is only in top level layers or

maybe deep nested in layer sets?
