Macos – Command to remove all files and folders recursively including, hidden ones, on MAC OS Terminal

macosrm

rm -rf * will remove all files and folders but not hidden ones.

rm -rf .* will remove all hidden files and folders, but not those that are not hidden, correct?

What command should one type, in order to delete all files and folders including the hidden ones? (except . and ..); ?

rm -rf * .*

will do the trick.

In bash:

shopt -s extglob
rm !(dontdelete)

cd to/dir/where/you/want/to/start
find . -type d -name '.svn' -print -exec rm -rf {} \;

Use find, which does recursion
in the current directory .
filetype is directory
filename is .svn
print what matched up to this point (the .svn dirs)
exec the command rm -rf (thing found from find). the {} is a placeholder for the entity found
the ; tells find that the command for exec is done. Since the shell also has an idea of what ; is, you need to escape it with \ so that the shell doesn't do anything special with it, and just passes to find
