how do you delete a directory?

[Sean McMahon]

How do you delete a directory?  Very carefully and with certanty that you won't
need any of it's files because it won't ask you to confirm your changes, it
assumes you know what you're doing.  Go to the directory you want to delete and
type rm -rf directory name.

Hi folks,
This is too elementary for you, but a big deal for a nubie.  How do you delete a
directory if it has other subdirectories and files?  rmdir does not delete
directories unless they are empty.
Cheers,
Cris
