There might be a problem with this approach.
rm (or the shell), might complain about the expansion of '*' when there is alot of
files.
Workarounds
1/ all shells:
find . -type f -exec rm -rf {}\;
2/ in bash:
for i in *;do rm -rf $i;done
Remember to 'cd' to the directory where the files is before firing the command line.
