I have done a great expreiment with linux 8, installation and uninstallatoin of so many softwares. but it leave me with lot of directories and now i want to delete them at all. Is thier any way to delete them even they are full.

thankyou,
zabtoo



Use rm -Rf <directory name>. The R is for recursive which deletes all subdirectories beneath the one that you specify and the f forces the deletion without prompting. Be careful here - make sure that you are sure that you have entered the directory name correctly.
