Had one of those brain fart moments where I needed to delete a directory with all it’s contents and couldn’t for the life of me remember the command.
 
I thought it was something like,
[crayon attributes]
rmdir -rf
[/crayon]
But after reading the man file for “rmdir”, I realized it was used for removing empty directories. So a quick Google search later revealed that I was close but still no cigar,
[crayon attributes]
rm -rf
[/crayon]
Just “rm” was all you needed. Also if you wanted to see the contents getting deleted instead of just waiting for it to finish, you could also use the verbose swith.
[crayon attributes]
rm -rfv
[/crayon]
But there is a more simpler way of removing a directory with contents, just use the recursive switch.
[crayon attributes]
rm -R
[/crayon]
And for recursive with the verbose switches,
[crayon attributes]
rm -Rv
[/crayon]
Hope this helps someone avoid wasting their time on such a simple task!
