Without the "-d"?
Tried that, didn't like it (I did need to remove directories).


You don't need "-d" to remove directories.  The "-r" option will do that.  The "-d" option removes *empty* directories.  "rm" will not delete directories without an option indicating that it should do so:

[gordon@hurricane:~/test]$ mkdir a
[gordon@hurricane:~/test]$ \rm a
rm: cannot remove 'a': Is a directory
[gordon@hurricane:~/test]$ \rm -d a
