This article will explain in detail the method of deleting folders under linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

How to delete a folder under linux: you can delete it using the [rm-rf directory name] command, such as [rm-rf / var/log/httpd/access], which means deleting the / var/log/httpd/access directory and all files and folders under it.

Rm is fine, but you need to add two parameters-rf:

Rm-rf directory name

-r is recursive downwards, and no matter how many directories there are, delete them as well.

-f means to delete directly and forcibly without giving any hints.

For example: delete a folder instance:

Rm-rf / var/log/httpd/access

The / var/log/httpd/access directory and all files and folders under it will be deleted

There may be a problem here. If you use it this way directly, the system may not authorize this operation and give a Permission denied prompt.

At this point, it is necessary to add sudo as the license for the authorized operation before rm-rf, that is, the name of the sudo rm-rf folder)

For example: delete file instance:

Rm-f / var/log/httpd/access.log

The / var/log/httpd/access.log file will be forcibly deleted

One thing to remind you: you must be very careful when using this rm-rf. Linux does not have a recycle bin.

Of course, rm has more parameters and usage that can be viewed by man rm.

This is the end of the method of deleting folders under linux. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
