this sounds easy - but I didnt find something about it in the docs:

How do I delete a not-empty directory in a mounted hfs volume?

hdel -r seems not to be working...

You need to delete the contents first using hdel and/or hrmdir, then you can hrmdir the directory. Wildcards may help, e.g.

% hdel ':dir:*' % hrmdir :dir

It is an unfortunate oversight that hdel does not have a recursive option. You can, however, use xhfs to delete most directories recursively.
