Deleting LARGE number of files

[Ryan Golhar]

I encountered the same issue and had to delete groups of files,
something like rm a*, then rm b*.

Okay, newbie question - and I can't find the answer on Google...  :-|

How can you delete the contents of a directory that has a
HUGE number of files?  By huge I mean when "rm -f *"
complains with "too many items" error message.  I don't care what's in
there, I just want to wipe it all.

Thanks,

Chris
