unix command question
 

how do you delete a certain folder and it's subfolders and its files without a prompt confirmation? something like deltree in dos

this is what I konw:
rm -r myfolder

rm -rf folder/

its the same as the one i'm using
it prompts

it shouldn't do, the "f" switch is force and "rm -rf folder" should delete the folders recursively without promting.

rm -rf should work without a prompt. As roly said, the f switch should suppress the prompts. If anything, try rm -rif, f will overwrite i. Linux can be quirky like that.

rm /folder/* -rf
