    Exclamation [SOLVED] rmdir not working ????

    Hi everyone !
    I had to copy my /proc directory to some other place. But now I want to delete it from that place. Whenever I try to use rmdir proc , it tells,it cannot remove the directory because it is not empty.Now how to remove it even if it is not empty?

    You can use -f option to remove Folders.
    Code:
    rm -rf <folder>
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
