Removes a directory. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/rmdir-invocation.html.

  • Remove directory, provided it is empty. Use rm -r to remove non-empty directories:

rmdir {{path/to/directory}}

  • Remove the target and its parent directories (useful for nested dirs):

rmdir -p {{path/to/directory}}
