rmdir

Remove Directory (Delete folders)

SYNTAX
          rmdir [-p] folder ...

OPTIONS
     -p	  Each folder argument is treated as a pathname of which all
	  components will be removed, if they are empty, starting with the
	  last most component. (See rm for fully non-discriminant recursive removal.)

The rmdir utility removes the entry specified by each folder argument, provided it is empty.

Arguments are processed in the order given. To remove both a parent and subfolder, the subfolder must be specified first so the parent is empty when rmdir tries to remove it.

If an error occurs, rmdir exits with a value >0.

EXAMPLES

To delete all these folders:
    MyFolder/
    MyFolder/SubFolder
    My Other Folder/
Use the command
  rmdir MyFolder/SubFolder MyFolder "My Other Folder"
