Try /bin/rm -r folder/ but be careful, you will get no second chance.

There is an alias somewhere that aliases rm so that it normally
specifies the -i option (for interactive) which forces you to type yes
to each filename.  (I don't know where the alias is and haven't looked
for it.)

Using /bin/rm "bypasses" the alias and disables the -i option.  

Hey, I answered one! (Mostly)
Hope this helps,
