but the above code deletes only the TEMP folder.

but i have to delete all the directories and sub directories everything starting from cvs

you are using

DIR1="/home/pavi/cvs/20071426/TEMP"

echo " DIR1 is : " $DESTDIR1

echo "Directory exits"
rm -rf $DIR1
echo "dir1 deleted "

just look at DIR1 this is ="/home/pavi/cvs/20071426/TEMP"

This is the reason it is only deleting TEMP
set DIR1="/home/pavi/cvs/"
and then do
rm -rf $DIR1
