-            osc delete FILE/DIRECTORY [FILE/DIRECTORY...]

+            cd .../PROJECT
+            osc delete PACKAGE [...]
 
         This command works on check out copies. Use "rdelete" for working on server
         side only. This is needed for removing the entire project.
 
-        As a safety measure, package must be empty (i.e., you need to delete all
-        packages first). If you are sure that you want to remove a package and all
-        its files use \'--force\' switch.
