Sure, delete *.*[1]
No, you can't do that. You could always put up some text telling the
client they should delete the file themselves.
[1] Back in the 80's, while I was out to lunch one day, one of the brokers
called the telcom person in the NY office. She said "Type in cd .. then
type in DEL *.*" The root was erased. Thank God I had Norton Unerase
floppies in my purse when I got back and restored everything.
