The tutorial explains on how to remove empty directories and all subdirectories in Linux operating system.

Linux command:

rm

Remove files (delete/unlink)

SYNTAX
rm [options]… file…

OPTIONS
-d, –directory unlink directory, even if non-empty (super-user only)

-f, –force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

-i, –interactive prompt before any removal

-r, -R, –recursive remove the contents of directories recursively

-v, –verbose explain what is being done

–help display this help and exit

–version output version information and exit

To remove a file you must have write permission on the file and the folder where it is stored.

rm -rf will recursively remove folders and their contents

The OWNER of a file does not need rw permissions in order to rm it.

Example:
To remove empty directory:

rm foldername

To remove the directory , all its subdirectory and their content :

rm -rf foldername
