Is there a way to bypass deletion error of non-empty directories?

I am currently testing a code that creates a folder with some files every time I run it. I cannot rerun since it cannot write to a folder that already exists. When I try deleting the entire folder, I get this message "Deletion failed Directory "tridesclous2_output" is not empty. Only empty directories can be deleted"

If I delete the subfiles within the folder, I am able to delete the file, but it can be lengthy based on how many files are within the folder. Is there a way to delete the entire folder including its subfolders and files?
