Deleting sub folder without deleting main folder

I will start off by saying I am completely new to using Hazel and have only the absolutle most basic rules currently running with it. This is largely due to not fully understanding many of the higher techniques needed for the advanced rules. With that I do apologize if this is answered elsewhere, if it is it was probably something I completely missed or couldn't for the life of me understand.

With all that out of the way here is my situation that I am stuck on. I download several shows from Korea that are automatically downloaded for me onto my computer. From there I have gotten a rule set up in Hazel to move the show folder to a videos folder before a second rule sends the .mkv file to iFlicks for processing. The problem I am encountering is that many of the show folders are coming with sub-folders titled "Sample" that contain a small video file to view the dimensions and quality. When the rule runs to send the .mkv file to iFlicks for processing it picks up either both the full show and sample video or just the sample. This is resulting in duplicate files in iTunes or videos only 2minutes long.

What I would like to have is a rule set up to watch any folder that is placed inside of the Videos Folder for sub-folders labeled "Sample" and delete said folder and its contents. The combinations I have tried thus far have resulted in the entire shows folder being deleted not just the sample folder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If clarification is needed as to what I am trying to do please let me know and I will try to explain it better or try to take screenshots that may demonstrate better.

Thank you.

I suggest posting screenshots of your rules as I can't say much without seeing those.
