| Billy Bob has a couple files in the directory named mp3s. He wants to delete that directory and all the files in it. He uses the command rmdir mp3s but it won't let him do it. Why not?
a. Only root can do that
b. He doesn't have the proper permissions
c. rmdir can only delete directories that are empty
d. He has to specify the absolute pathname to delete the directory.
e. Some files in the mps3 directory must be in use. Billy Bob needs to quit any mp3's he's playing and then rmdir it. | |

| Hi,
right , rmdir will only delete an empty directory ... ( if one has the right to do it ... )
sometimes ... brute force is required ..
rm -rf nastydir
( take care ... things do not come back ..)
