     Code:

I got the following error:

     Code:

I was possitive I also wanted to deleted all the files in this directory. I didnt want to delete its files one by one to make it empty. I thought there's got to be a easy and faster way to delete the whole directory at once. I found it!

WARNING: make certain you are 100% sure you want to delete the directory and its files. After you execute this command, there is not turning back. So please make sure you are ready to delete the direcotry (folder)

Example: I want to remove the html directory in /var/www/html to do this i execute these commands:

INSTEAD OF USING THE RMDIR COMMAND USE THE RM COMMAND:

Now DELETE the html directory and its files and subdirectories

     Code:
