Delete without any questions

Hi
Im under /sybase filesystem
When i type pwd it shows as /sybase
Now I want to delete all the files and directories inside /sybase and it should not ask any questions to confirm deletion. how to do this

Use -f for force. Seems your rm is an alias with -i to ask for inter-active confirmation of deletion.

Code:
rm -rf /sybase/*
