delete command in linux

I'm trying to delete a folder, its contents, all the sub folders and all their contents etc with one command.

I've been looking at: http://www.ss64.com/bash/rm.html

================================================
rmdir

Remove folder(s), if they are empty.

SYNTAX
rmdir [options]... folder...

OPTIONS
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty
ignore each failure that is solely because the
directory is non-empty

-p, --parents remove explicit parent directories if being emptied

--verbose output a diagnostic for every directory processed

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit
================================================

and this one:

================================================

rm

Remove files (delete/unlink)

SYNTAX
rm [options]... file...

OPTIONS
-d, --directory unlink directory, even if non-empty (super-user only)

-f, --force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

-i, --interactive prompt before any removal

-r, -R, --recursive remove the contents of directories recursively

-v, --verbose explain what is being done

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit
================================================

I've tried a few combinations, but didn't succeed. Any advice?
