" Directory not empty " Error While Deleting Directory Using "rmdir" Command
Hello Friend's.....
Once Again I Am Back With Little Solution Of Very Common Problem.
So, Many Linux User's (Mostly Beginner's) Use The "rmdir" Command For Deleting The Directory.
But, Some Time They All Are (Maybe) Facing One Problem.
" rmdir: failed to remove ‘DirectoryName’: Directory not empty "
Because This Directory Is Not Empty. There Is Any Files / Directories In That Directory.
So, Now What We Can Do....????
Use The " rm -rf " Command.
Example : " rm -rf DirectoryName "
Please Note :
This will delete the directory including all the files and
sub-directories. This is very dangerous when you use it accidentally as
you cannot recover those files easily. So it is strongly recommended
that you pay attention and think twice before executing the rm -rf
command.
All The Following rm Options Are Valid And Does Same Functionality.
i.e. Recursive And Forcefully Delete.
- rm -fr
- rm -rf
- rm -f -r
- rm -r -f
