How To Delete All Files And Folders In Linux

To delete all files and folders in Linux, you can use the rm command with the -r option, which recursively deletes files and directories. Before using this command, be sure you know what you’re doing, as it will delete all files and directories in the specified location.

Here’s how to delete all files and folders in the current directory:

rm -r *

This will delete all files and folders in the current directory, including hidden files and folders. If you want to delete everything in a specific directory, replace * with the path to the directory:

rm -r /path/to/directory/*

Again, be careful when using this command, as it will delete all files and directories in the specified location. It’s a good idea to double-check that you’re in the correct directory and that you really want to delete everything before running this command.
