What Command will remove a Directory in UNIX?..

Answer / sambasivarao

This has two options

1) If directory is an empty directory
$rmdir <directory name>

2) If it is non-empty directory
$rm -rf <directory name>

-r means delete recursively
-f means delete forcibly.

It deletes your mentioned directory without informing
you that it is going to delete the whole directory (sub
directories and files in that directory)
