The tldr rmdir command is used to display a simplified and concise summary of the rmdir command in the terminal.

The rmdir command is typically used in operating systems to remove or delete empty directories (folders). It stands for "remove directory."

However, it's important to note that the rmdir command only works if the directory is empty; otherwise, it will return an error. If you want to delete a directory with its contents, you should use the rm command with the -r or --recursive option.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
