To remove a directory in Linux, you can use the rm command with the -r flag, which stands for “recursive.” This flag allows you to delete a directory and its contents. Here’s the command you can use:

rm -r directory_name

Replace directory_name with the actual name of the directory you want to remove.

Please exercise caution when using the rm command with the -r flag, as it permanently deletes files and directories. Make sure you double-check the directory you want to delete before executing the command.

The different rm command options include:

• -f: Forces the removal of all files and directories.
• -i: Prompts for confirmation before removing.
• -I: Prompts once before removing more then three files or when removing recursively.
• -r: Removes directories and their content recursively.
• -d: Removes empty directories.
• -v: Provides a verbose output.
• –help: Displays the help text.
• –version: Displays the command version.

I hope this helps someone, have a wonderful afternoon.
