How do I force delete a directory in Linux?

To force delete a directory in Linux, you can use the “rm” command with the “-r” (recursive) and “-f” (force) options.

For example, to force delete a directory named “mydir”, you would use the following command:

rm -rf mydir

Please note that this command will delete the directory and all its contents without prompting for confirmation, so be careful when using it. It’s a good idea to use this command only when you are sure that you want to delete the directory and its contents.
