Hi all,

Anyone know real quick what the UNIX Apache command is to
delete directories even if they have files in them. I need
to wipe a 100 MB site, and going folder by folder, file by
file through FTP is getting to be a pain.

I tried rmdir, but it tells me the directory is not empty--I
don't care, I just want them all gone!!! :)

Thanks,
Gina
