And if you don't want it to prompt you, do:
	rm -rf dir_name

Be careful though..this can and will wipe your whole system if you 
accidentally type:
	rm -rf /   and then tap the enter key :) and yes, I've done it both on 
purpose to see what happens and not on purpose. The former is kinda cool, the 
latter makes you say a few choice words.
