How to remove non-empty directories?

To remove a non-empty directory, you can use the rm command with the -r (recursive) option. The syntax is as follows:

rm -r directory_name

Example:

If you have a directory named non_empty_dir that you want to remove, you would run:

rm -r non_empty_dir

Important Note:

• Be cautious when using this command, as it will delete the directory and all of its contents permanently. If you want to be prompted before each deletion, you can add the -i option:

rm -ri non_empty_dir

This will ask for confirmation before deleting each file and subdirectory.
