One, if you are willing to live with an OS-dependent solution. You can
read your OS manual for the command that removes files (rm on Unix or
del on Windows), figure out what comand-line keys are necessary to
remove all files in a given directory, and pass the respective command
to your operating system via exec(), passthru(), or system().
