10.6 -Deletion: rm and rmdir

- -
-

10.6.1 rm

- -

rm(1) removes files and directory trees. DOS users will -notice the similarity to both the del and deltree commands. rm can be very dangerous -if you do not watch yourself. While it is sometimes possible to retrieve a recently -deleted file, it can be complicated (and potentially costly) and is beyond the scope of -this book.

- -

To remove a single file, specify its name when you run rm:

- - - - - -
-
-% rm file1
-
-
- -

If the file has write permissions removed, you may get a permission denied error -message. To force removal of the file no matter what, pass the -f option, like this:

- - - - - -
-
-% rm -f file1
-
-
- -

To remove an entire directory, you use the -r and -f options together. This is a good example of how to delete the -entire contents of your hard drive. You really don't want to do this. But here's the -command anyway:

- - - - - -
-
-# rm -rf /
-
-
- -

Be very careful with rm; you can shoot yourself in the foot. -There are several command line options, which are discussed in detail in the online -manual page.

10.6.2 rmdir

- -

rmdir(1) removes directories from the filesystem. The -directory must be empty before it can be removed. The syntax is simply:

- - - - - -
-
-% rmdir <directory>
-
-
- -

This example will remove the hejaz subdirectory in the -current working directory:

- - - - - -
-
-% rmdir hejaz
-
-
- -

If that directory does not exist, rmdir will tell you. You -can also specify a full path to a directory to remove, as this example shows:

- - - - - -
-
-% rmdir /tmp/hejaz
-
-
- -

That example will try to remove the hejaz directory inside -the /tmp directory.

- -

You can also remove a directory and all of its parent directories by passing the -p option.

- - - - - -
-
-% rmdir -p /tmp/hejaz
-
-
- -

This will first try to remove the hejaz directory inside /tmp. If that is successful, it will try to remove /tmp. rmdir will continue this until an -error is encountered or the entire tree specified is removed.
