If you want to delete the fodler with its contents, do the following as root
rm -rf folder_name
This will delete everything.
Just an after thought - if you want the system to ask for confirmation
before deleting, leave out 'f' in the command above
-f is for "force"
Depends on environmnt variables.
Add -i to make sure that it asks.
-i is for "interactive".
(IIRC, the manual is your friend)
