Check the man page for rm, particularly the option -r. Be careful with this one. It's safest to be in the parent directory and do a rm -r subdir_to_delete. Sometimes globbing can surprise you, so you probably don't want to get too fancy, particularly anything with .* ;). ~ Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Illingsworth [mailto:ILLINGSK@cityofrochester.gov] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 8:09 AM To: redhat-s390-list@redhat.com Subject: deltree I would like to clean up some disk space. However, some of the files I had tarballed are huge with may levels of subdirectories. Is there a command or utility like rmdir that can remove a non-empty directory?
