Deleting Alot of Files

[kalidust]

I have some directories that have alot of files in it, and to remove the directory would be painstakingly long. Everytime I try "# rmdir (folder_name)" I always get the error that the directory isn't empty. Maybe there is a command I don't know about that can accomplish what I want to do, but I don't know one. Does anyone know of a command or a better way to do this?

Dustin, be careful with this one, but

# rm -rf folder_name

Thanks Charles, that worked :)

I remembered some flags to add onto to it, but I didn't really remember. I try to not use that command too much :-P

You really... REALLY need to be careful with that command... it could bring your VPS to junk state :P
