Ep4 - How To Linux - Remove Files & Directories
In this episode, I go over how to remove files and directories with the Linux CLI, and I show you some common flags and reasons to use them.
*NOTE*: I am aware that you can use the "rmdir" to remove empty directories; however, I did not go over that command since I have rarely ever used it as a Linux administrator. 99% of the time, I always use "rm -r" to delete my directories since they almost always have files or other directories in them.
