For that I use since 1988 under OS/2 and eCS.
rm -rf x:\dir\*

whereas * refelects the whole directory tree to be removed.

Loot at HOBBES fur unixlike or gnufutil or fileutil.

rm - remove file and whole directory(tree)
      instead to fiddle around to get
      - directories empty
      - attributes set gor be ready to be removeable
      rm *    - remove all files in the current director
                lets any file with hidden, system, readonly
                attribute set intact
      rm -r * - remove anything in current directory
                and its subdirectories
                lets any file/directory with hidden, readonly,
                system attribute set intact
      rm -f * - remove all files in current directory
                removes files with hitted, system, readonly
                attribute set too.
      rm -rf *  like above, but removes subdirectories too

ls  dir in unix syntax, more comfortable than OS2/DOS dir
     ls -l     - sames as dir
     ls -R     - dir /S
cp - copy in unix syntax
mv - move in unix syntax - but works over multiple drives
less - extended more
