Hi Chris, I believe the switch is -r, but be warned, it *will delete all directories that are below the one you specify, and you will *not* be able to recover them. My advice, if you are a newbie, combersome though it be, is to go into each subdir and delete the files that are there, co up one level, remove the given dir and so on until you are satisfied. Removing directories whole sale is *not* a good idea unless you know and are absolutely sure of what you are doing. Now, please note, I am not sure that -r is the correct switch. Try 'man rmdir' or 'info rmdir' for further instructions. Do *not* take my word for this. I don' wanna be responzable!! Ann P. -- Ann K.
