I think the key is "without having to respond yes repeatedly". Means he's got
something set up to rm -i in the shell environment. So two ways:
1) \rm -rf /directory
2) alias rm=rm, then rm -rf /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
