Removing directories

To remove a directory use the command:

   rmdir directory_name

The directory must be empty before you can delete it. You will need to remove any files and subdirectories that it contains.

To remove a directory that contains files use the command:

   rm -r directory_name

This deletes all the contents of the directory including any subdirectories.
