Direct rm can be, but to add two parameters-rf, that is: rm -rf directory name

-r is recursion down, no matter how many levels of directories, delete them together;

-f means to delete directly without any prompt.

Example: Delete 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 directly, the system may not authorize this operation, and a Permission denied prompt will appear.)

At this time, you need to add sudo before rm -rf as permission for authorized operations, i.e. sudo rm -rf folder name)

Example: Delete file instance:

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

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

Need to remind is: use this rm-rf time must be extra careful, linux has no recycle bin.
