Delete a directory in Linux very simple, many people are still accustomed to using rmdir, but once the directory is not empty, into deep distress, now use the RM-RF command can be resolved.
Direct RM is OK, but add two parameters-rf namely: RM-RF directory Name
-R is recursive down, no matter how many levels of directory, delete
-F is simply forced to delete, without any hint of the meaning
To delete a folder instance:
[PHP] view plain copy rm-rf/var/log/httpd/access
This will delete the/var/log/httpd/access directory and all the files and folders under it
Need to be reminded: Use this RM-RF must be extra careful, because the deletion of files in the terminal can not be restored.
Of course, RM has more other parameters and usage, and man RM can view
To delete a file using an instance:
[PHP] view plain copy rm-f/var/log/httpd/access.log
This will force the deletion of the/var/log/httpd/access.log file
