$ tldr rmdir
try on your machine
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.
