How do I get rid of ACLs on my UNIX only folders?

I ran ls -al and found that a folder that I planned to use for UNIX / NFS only  has an ACL with Windows ACEs for Active Directory groups.  How do I get rid of them?

A special flag on the chmod command from a node in the Isilon cluster will allow you to remove Windows ACLs and replace them with POSIX bits.

for example: 

chmod -b -R 744 /ifs/data/newNFSfolder

Will erase the ACL (that's the -b flag) and replace with 744 as the POSIX mode bits. (-R is recursive and will execute the command down the directory tree)

This should clean up any inadvertent ACLs that exist out there in your UNIX only folders.

is there any way to remove ACL only without specifying permission, we have a directory which has more 10000 folder and each subfolder has different combination of permission. 

How can we get rid of ACl only?
