If rm is still asking you about each file, be sure it isn't aliased. If
it asks questions, type Ctrl-C to exit, then re-run rm as follows:
\rm -rf
the \ will turn off any aliases for rm, such as 'rm=rm -i'. See the man
page as Mark suggested for more info.

'man rm' suggests that 'rm -rf' is what you want.
