have you tried this

Code:

su
&#91;root pass&#93;
rm /var/www/html/about_me/index.html
rm /var/www/html/contactus/index.html
rmdir /var/www/html/contactus/
rM /var/www/html/index.html

this should delete the files and the folder /var/www/cantactus

1. index.html should NOT be a directory
2. Press 'y' at the prompt
3. It will fail anyway since you didn't specify "-r" on the command line, seeing as index.html is for some reason a directory
Just as an fyi you can suppress these warnings using "-f" on rm.
