R help - Jun 2010 - removing a non empty directory

I'd like to remove automatically a directory that may be non empty.
I tried:
> file.remove(NewDir, recursive=TRUE)
[1] FALSE
Warning message:
In file.remove(NewDir, recursive = TRUE) :
  cannot remove file 'Prostate_Validated_mirWalk', reason 'Directory
not empty'

Is there another command to remove entire directories including their contents ?
Thank you.
