Linux commands for deleting folders and files

 

Linux Delete directory is very simple, many people are still accustomed to use rmdir, but once the directory is not empty, it fell into deep distress, now use the RM-RF command.
Direct RM is available, but add two parameters-rf that is: RM-RF directory name
-R is recursive down, no matter how many levels of directory, delete
-F is directly forcibly deleted, without any hint of meaning

Method/Step

1. 1

   To delete a folder instance:
   Rm-rf/var/log/httpd/access
   The/var/log/httpd/access directory and all files and folders under it will be deleted

2. 2

   To delete a file usage instance:
   Rm-f/var/log/httpd/access.log
   This file will be forcibly deleted/var/log/httpd/access.log

   END

Precautions

• Use this RM-RF with extreme caution, Linux does not have a recycle Bin

  Many friends do not see this important information before use, so that after the deletion and then want to find it is very difficult
