   Linux equivelant of "Del *.*"

   I.m using SeaMonkey Internet Suite as my Browser/E-mail agent, and, to   
   give the developers a bit of a hand, I'm using the Beta versions.   
   SeaMonkey tries to release a new version every six weeks, and, for each   
   release, there can be several Beta's with-in each six-week period.   
      
   This means I seem to be forever installing a new version of SeaMonkey,   
   and, to save any cross-contamination between versions, before installing   
   the new Beta's, I want to completely remove the old version, effectively   
   deleting the directory that SeaMonkey and all its sub-directories are in.   
      
   In Linux (as root), I seem to be issuing lots of rm *.*'s and hitting   
   "Y" heaps with the occasional rd (directory). Back in DOS or Win3/95/98,   
   I'd probably have just entered something like "Del *.*" and "job done".   
      
   Is there something like this for Linux??
