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:
