Debian Linux Delete Directory Command

In Debian Linux, you can use the rm command to delete a directory. However, the rm command alone will only remove files, not directories. To delete a directory, you must use the rm command with the -r (or --recursive) option, which tells rm to remove the directory and its contents recursively.

Here’s an example of how to delete a directory named example:

Note that the rm -r command is dangerous and can permanently delete files and directories, so be careful when using it. If you want to be extra cautious, you can use the -i (or --interactive) option, which will prompt you for confirmation before deleting each file or directory:
