3 cases to consider:
1) you're doing it from the Unix host in which case you have "rm -rf" or
equivalent
2) you're doing it on a Mac via netatalk in which case the Finder/netatalk does
(1) on your behalf (you did ask to throw away the folder after all, and clicked
"yes" to all the confirmation dialogues)
3) you're doing it on Windows via Samba in which case Samba should do (1) on
your behalf; if it doesn't, it's a bug
(2) certainly works with an arbitary .XXX folder that you can't see on the
desktop; I have no way of checking (3).
