Q:
How can I delete a directory?
A:
You can delete a empty directory with "rmdir".
If the directory isn't empty you can use "rm" with the option "-r".
example:
rmdir /home/user
or
rm -r /home/user
*note* Windows usually asks you if you are sure before deleting things. Linux usually does not, so be careful.
