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)

rmdir is used.
we can also use rm -rf to remove directory recursively.
