rm -rf all the files and directories inside them.

btrfsck: do a limited check of the FS extent trees.
* btrfs-convert: in-place conversion from ext2/3/4 filesystems
btrfs-debug-tree: print all of the FS metadata in text form. Example:
btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sda2 >& big_output_file
* btrfs-image: dump filesystem metadata for debugging
