This article will explain in detail how to delete a directory under Linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.
Delete a directory using rmdir
The Rmdir command is called "remove directory", which is used to delete the command of the empty directory.
For example, delete an empty directory named "MyDocuments":
[root@localhost test] # rmdir MyDocuments an error will be prompted if the directory is not empty:
Rmdir: failed to remove 'MyDocuments': Directory not empty
Delete a directory using the rm command
The rm command is typically used to delete files in Linux. You can add parameters to delete directories. For example, recursively delete a directory, use the recursive option-r or-R, and if the directory is write-protected, you will be prompted whether to continue deleting the directory and the files in the directory as a whole. -f force deletion without being prompted.
[root@localhost test] # rm-rf MyDocuments/
You can delete multiple directories in a single command, as shown in the following command. Command deletes all directories and their subdirectories without prompting for deletion.
[root@localhost test] # rm-rf dir1 dir2 dir3 uses the find command
The Find command helps users search for files and directories based on specific expressions. In addition, this command can be used to search for directories and delete them based on specified search criteria.
Delete the directory named "MyDocuments" in the current directory
[root@localhost test] # find. -type d-name "MyDocuments"-exec rm-rf {} +
. Indicates execution in the current directory
-type d searches only directories
-name specifies the directory name
-exec rm-rf executes the rm command to delete all directories or contents
{} + appended to the end of the rm command
Delete an empty directory
If you want to delete all empty directories, use the following command:
[root@localhost test] # find. -type d-empty-delete
-empty only restricts empty directories
-delete deletes all empty directories, including subdirectories
