Folders are for windows-
Linux folders are called "Directories" -
To remove a directory, send this command on you SSH session:
Code:
rmdir /path/to/directory/name
/path/to/directory/name is the full path to where the directory is at that you want to delete.
Example: I wan to delete the forums directory and the forums directory is at /var/www/html/forums i would have to do this:
move to the html directory
Code:
cd /var/www/html
Then delete the forums directory
Code:
rmdir forums
DONE
