Dear Mr. Malkiat, you may use rm command with switches like: $ rm -rf This removes the directory and any other subdirectory their in and does it forcefully so it will not ask you for delete confirmation. yogesh On Mon, 2003-07-28 at 03:18, Arindam Dey wrote: > On Sat, 2003-07-26 at 19:58, MALKIAT BENIPAL thus hollered from the roof > top : > > Dear Mr.Dey, > > > > I am sorry that I am contacing u offlist for my problem as I hope that > > I wud receipt a prompt reply for the same. > > > > In dos if we wish to remove a non-empty directory, we may use the > > deltree command.

If you ask some questions on the list then the subsequent answer may be archived there for future use by somebody else facing the same problem. In future kindly ask the questions on the list. Secondly :- As to your problem , you neglected to mention the distribution you are using. I am assuming it is RedHat. For deleting directories recursively you can use rm -rf /path/to/dir. Be careful be very very careful when playing around with rm -rf. You have been warned. If you want to delete the directory interactively that is if you want it to prompt you with a yes/no option before deleting the contents in the dir then you can use rm -ri /path/to/dir But if you are using a distro like RedHat the command rm is aliased as rm -i by default. To get around this you can either put a "\" before the rm command without the quotes of course or you can unalias rm. So to delete recursively all the directories without prompting [EMAIL PROTECTED] Knoppix32]#\rm -rf /path/to/dir OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] Knoppix32]#unalias rm; rm -rf /path/to/dir If you were a normal user RedHat does not alias the rm command then you can simply use rm -rf. Further help on alias you can get from "man alias" it is a bash built in command. Bye, -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
