Hi. I have had troubled deleting directories that are not empty. When I
use a command " rmdir directoryName ", bash complains that the directory
is not empty. Do I have to delete all the files inside the directory
first? But how can I delete all the files with one command? I really
don't want to delete one file at a time, using " rm fileName".
  Thank you, and have a good day.
