[svlug] removing multiple directories

hi

I would like to rm a bunch of video that I have backed up, and I am finding
that I am having to do

$ sudo rm -r [dirname]

for each individual dir, and there are multiple directories.  I tried

$ sudo rm -r *.*

and I got this error

cje at rb:/media/videos/10.2.cje/harddrive05$ sudo rm -r *.*
rm: cannot remove `*.*': No such file or directory

How would I rm the directories below harddrive05 in one fell swoop?  I am
obviously making some kind of basic mistake.  Thanks in advance.
