Ray gave you a pointer and said read the man page so you will
understand the command, a very good idea.
The following is an example
/usr/local/src/pipo
do;
cd /usr/local/src/pipo
pwd # This to MAKE SURE YOUR IN pipo.
rm -rf *
to delete hidden files (the ones with a leading . )
rm -rf .*
cd ..
rmdir pipo
Remember the -r is recursive and the -f is force.
