How to Remove Dir in Unix
Deleting a directory (dir) is an essential process when operating a computer. If you are using a Unix-based operating system for the first time, you will recognize that the operating system is developed primarily for command line usage. To remove a directory in Unix you use the rmdir (remove directory) command which works universally no matter what Unix, or subsequently, Linux, operating system you are running.
