If you use the GUI, removing a directory in Linux is a rather straightforward procedure. If you don't have access to the GUI, you can alternatively use terminal commands to remove folders.
To delete a directory from the terminal window or command line, use one of the following Linux commands:
The rm command deletes entire directories as well as their subdirectories and files.
The rmdir command is used to get rid of empty directories.
It's worth noting that the rm and rmdir commands destroy directories permanently rather than transferring them to the Trash directory. This means that these commands will not be able to recover a directory that has been deleted.
