[cobalt-users] How to remove a directory

[Michael Crick <crick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some directories that i would like to remove from my Linux 
server.  The directories have files in them so when i use the rmdir command 
it tells me that the directory is not empty.  I was wondering if anyone 
knew what the command is to remove a directory without having to first 
empty it as i have a large number to be removed and don't want to have to 
slowly go through the directories one by one removing the files first.  I 
also tried rmdir -r but that didn't work either.

Thanks in advance

Michael
