Clearly, you've got to run a loop to delete all the files in directory previously

here is something small and fast you can use.

function delete_directory($dirname) {
  if (is_dir($dirname)){
    $dir_handle = opendir($dirname);
  }
  if (!$dir_handle){
    return false;
  }
  while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
      if (!is_dir($dirname."/".$file)){
        unlink($dirname."/".$file);
      }else{
        delete_directory($dirname.'/'.$file);
      }
    }
   closedir($dir_handle);
   rmdir($dirname);
  return true;
} 

always worth a shot. Not sure if it works because I just googled that

That one should work out, as far as I see.

Any other command to direct remove whole dir.

Any one knows only one command through delete whole dir.
