Published: November 22, 2014 | Last Modified: November 22, 2014
Delete files from a directory:
rm [options..] [file|directory]
-f | Remove all files in a directory without prompting the user. |
-i | Interactive. With this option, rm prompts for confirmation before removing any files. |
-r (or) -R | Recursively remove directories and subdirectories in the argument list. The directory will be emptied of files and removed. The user is normally prompted for removal of any write-protected files which the directory contains. |
Examples:
sudo rm -rf /media/Data/.Trash-1000/files
sudo rm -rf /home/.Trash-0/info
