Deleting LARGE number of files

Okay, newbie question - and I can't find the answer on
Google...  :-|

How can you delete the contents of a directory that has a
HUGE number of files?  By huge I mean when "rm -f *"
complains with "too many items" error message.  I don't care
what's in there, I just want to wipe it all.

Thanks,

Chris
