Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-3474:
---------------------------------------
In such situations, I use:
{code}
hadoop fs -rmr foo bar .Trash
{code}
> Need an option -rm and -rmr to *not* move to Trash, but actually delete
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-3474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3474
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0
> Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
>
> By default, when Trash is enabled, -rm and -rmr just move files/directories
> to .Trash, which are actually deleted after some time set in the config.
> When DFS gets full, we need to quickly create space on it by deleting files,
> so it will be good to have a --force option to both -rm and -rmr, so that
> files are actually deleted and not moved.
