RE: Removing downloaded Oracle software

Or if you've been burned by deleting waaaaaaayyyyyy to much.

 

Being paranoid is a good thing.

/bin/rm -fr directory or if you're paranoid like me,   

cd DIRECTORY

I am nervous about doing this since it is Linux versus other OS.  What
is the correct command to use to remove a directory and all of the files
that fall under that directory without receiving questions back about
whether or not want to remove various files within the that directory?
In other words, using the example below, I want to remove the
"directory_to_be_removed" including any files that are in it without
having to respond yes repeatedly?   The directory being removed is
actually downloaded Oracle software from CD (but not the location where
the install of the software itself is actually located at).

/u04/db_files/directory_to_be_removed
