Each time I install and things aren't quite right, I erase everything and reinstall the port. My problem is I can't seem to figure out how to erase an entire directory. If it has files in it, I can't just type rmdir without doing each directory, starting at the bottom of the tree. Can someone tell me if there is a command similar to deltree in DOS for FreeBSD. Note: deltree will allow you to delete an entire directory and all its subfolders with one swift command line.
