Delete files in a directory

Hello everyone,
I hope I explain this correctly..

I have a USB drive that I boot using SysLinux.. I think select one of several options to complete a task. I do not have access to edit those Kernels.
I need to add a option from the Syslinux menu where I can delete all the files from a specific directory. I dont know enought to do this can anyone help.
I am think i have to add a single user kernel and then delete? but how

Thank you
Marcelo

If i understood you correctly, you have something like grub and want to have option to delete some folder in it.

I would install small linux(like in dual boot), possibly without gui, and than add command at the end of runlevels that will "rm" files
