deleting UNIX files
it's hard to remove a directory and all its contents in unix. try this:
(be careful that you are in the proper directory!!!)
rm *
rm */*
rm */*/*
rm */*/*/* ...
keep going until no files found. this removes all the files, but not directories.
then,
rmdir */*/*/*/*
rmdir */*/*/*
...
rmdir *
use the up arrow to get to previous input, makes it much easier.
this removes all the directories/subdirectories.
