Delete all but specific file

I am trying to run a command that will search a bunc h of folders and DELETE ALL files EXCEPT a specific file.

I am using this right now.

for %i in (*) do if not %i == .msg del %i

Questions:
1. This does not work on subfolders.  How do I modify it to do so?
2. How do I specify more than one type of file to KEEP (right now only the .msg are kept)

PLEASE HELP!!!!!  Cheers
