SSH command to delete everything in a folder?

[Emil]

What's the SSH-command to delete all files and folder within a folder without having to press "y" for every file and folder?

[kmanrox]

rm -f ./

very tempting to post the wrong command in hopes that you deleted your whole HDD... but alas i couldnt bring myself to do it.

Do it please, I want to whip everything out. I'm canceling one of my servers.

Thanks!

The FBI forensics unit can restore everything.

Just saying.

to kill your whole hdd, as root, type rm -rf /* or rm-rf / i think works too

of course there's a few ways to format / kill your whole HDD.. this is one

rm -rf foldername

-r means recursive (all subfolders)
-f means don't ask me to confirm

rm -rf foldername

-r means recursive (all subfolders)
-f means don't ask me to confirm

Exactly, or from outside the path as soon as you login root

rm -rf directorypath/nameofdirectorytoberemoved
