[SOLVED] zsh: how to delete contents in folder without deleting the folder?

Issue

I am using zsh and I want to delete contents of a folder without deleting the folder itself. What is the best way to go about this?

Solution

rm -r myfolder/* will delete all files in that folder that do not begin with a dot.

Really the simplest solution is rm -rf myfolder && mkdir myfolder.
