How do I delete a folder under Linux?

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, deleted;
-F is directly forcibly deleted, without any hint of meaning.

For example: 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

(there may be a problem here, if you use it directly, the system may not authorize this operation, and come out permisSion denied (no permission) prompt.

You need to add sudo as a license to authorize the operation before RM-RF, i.e. the name of the sudo rm-rf folder)

Example: Delete a file instance:

Rm-f/var/log/httpd/access.log

This file will be forcibly deleted/var/log/httpd/access.log

To be reminded: Use this rm-rf with extreme caution, Linux does not have a recycle Bin.

Of course, RM has more parameters and usage, and the man RM can be viewed.

There is also a way to be useful:

mkdir a Create directory A

RmDir a Delete directory a Note: rmdir can only delete empty directory, if there are files in the directory, then delete failed
