Answer / sambasivarao
This has two options
1) If directory is an empty directory
$rmdir <directory name>
2) If it is non-empty directory
$rm -rf <directory name>
-r means delete recursively
-f means delete forcibly.
It deletes your mentioned directory without informing
you that it is going to delete the whole directory (sub
directories and files in that directory)

Answer / brijmohan
rmdir is used.
we can also use rm -rf to remove directory recursively.
means it will first remove all files and folder from that
directory then it will remove current folder.
