For directories:
rm -Rf YourDirectory
the big gotcha here is that rm -R will possibly follow links
(or aliases, can't remember, but it's easy to test) with the
result if you have a little folder that happens to contain a
link/alias to a volume, rm -R is big trouble. that's why i
hesitate to just try to write a handler for something like
that without whomever is going to use it having a clear
understanding of the issues ...
