I have navigated to the desired folder in my command window and I would like to delete all files and folders within the specific directory where I am currently located. I do not want to delete any files/folders outside of this directory.
How can I go about achieving this?
rm -r /path/to/dir/*
- r is for deleting also subdirectories
* is for selecting all the files in the directory
Use the command:
rm -rf *
So far your in the desired folder that should remove all that's there.
-r: recursive or move into any directory in that location
-f: ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt
*: all the contents of that location
