Directory...remove the directory (ies), if they are empty. -- ignore-fail-on-non-empty ignore each failure that is solely because a directory is non-empty-p,-- parents remove directory and its ancestors. E.g.` rmdir-p _ a _ is similar to _ c _'_ is similar to _ a _ -v,-- verbose output a diagnostic for every directory processed-- help display this help and exit-- version output version information and exit report bugs to.

You can also view rmdir document information using the following command

[root@db-server ~] # man rmdir

2: delete empty directories using rmdir

If the directory is not empty, an error message appears.

[root@db-server ~] # ls / root/kerry/file1 [root@db-server ~] # rmdir kerryrmdir: kerry: directory not empty [root@db-server ~] # rm-f / root/kerry/* [root@db-server ~] # rmdir kerry

[root@db-server ~] # mkdir test1 test2 test3 [root@db-server ~] # lsanaconda-ks.cfg desktop install.log install.log.syslog test1 test2 test3 [root@db-server ~] # rmdir-v test1 test2 test3rmdir: removing directory, test1rmdir: removing directory, test2rmdir: removing directory, test3

4: delete the directory recursively, as shown below, first create the directory kerry, create the empty directory tmp under the kerry directory, and then the empty directory test

[root@db-server ~] # mkdir-p kerry/tmp/test [root@db-server ~] # tree kerrykerry`-- tmp `--test 2 directories, 0 files [root@db-server ~] # rmdir-p kerry/tmp/test

5: ignore any errors caused by data files in the directory

[root@db-server ~] # mkdir kerry [root@db-server ~] # cd kerry [root@db-server kerry] # touch file1 [root@db-server kerry] # cd. [root@db-server] # rmdir-- ignore-fail-on-non-empty kerry/
