How do you remove a directory?

Answer Posted / hr@tgksolutions.com

Directories can be removed using the rmdir command for empty directories. For instance, rmdir directory_name will remove the named directory, provided it's empty. However, if you need to remove a directory and its contents, the rm command with the -r (recursive) option, like rm -r directory_name, becomes useful. Caution is advised, as this operation is irreversible and can quickly delete large amounts of data.
