You can also use <cfdirectory> to do this.

    Generally what you need to do is do a CFDIRECTORY on that dir, loop over
    the contents and use CFFILE to delete each file as you loop over it, then
    you can remove the directory.

    Or perhaps do a command line bit, deleting *.* from that directory, that
    would be less code and possibly quicker.
