folder permissions...

[Husse]

Why do you want to delete a folder not in your /home?
Normally you should not do that...

Code: Select all

sudo rm /path_to_your_folder/your_folder

Don't do this unless you are sure you can delete the folder!
//edit//After Boo's post I see the typo - rmdir not rm /

[Boo]

the commands are

rmdir /path/to/directory

if the folder is not empty use.

rm -rf /path/to/file_or_dir

use sudo if you really want to get rid of stuff.

but you are warned one wrong move and you system is gone.
