/pnfs is not your normal drive. We're suppose to use ifdh commands. To get a list of them type

ifdh --help

remove multiple files from a directory and then directory

 find /pnfs/directory/* | xargs -n 1 ifdh rm
 ifdh rmdir /pnfs/directory/

The first line: find prints to standard out the name of the every file in the directory. That output gets piped to xargs. Because of the -n 1 flag, it breaks up the output and passes each entry to the command ifdh rm.

The second line removes the folder.
