It's not rmdir, but just rm; "rm -r" is what you want - "rm -rf" does
what you want without asking questions  (Just plain "rm -r" will ask
you about whether or not to delete files you don't have write access
to).

I hope I don't need to say how extremely dangerous these commands are, 
and how careful you should be when using them.
