Debian Linux Delete Directory Command

Debian Linux Delete Directory Command

To delete a directory in Debian Linux, you can use the rm command with the -r option to recursively delete the directory and all its contents.

For example, to delete a directory named mydir, you can use the following command:

refer t‮ttual:o‬uri.com
rm -r mydir

This command will delete the mydir directory and all its contents, including any subdirectories and files.

Be careful when using the rm command, as it can permanently delete files and directories, and the deleted items cannot be recovered.

If you want to delete a directory and all its contents, but you want to be prompted for confirmation before each file is deleted, you can use the rm command with the -i option:

rm -ir mydir

This will prompt you to confirm the deletion of each file before it is deleted.
