How do I delete all files in a folder in CentOS?
To delete all files in a directory on CentOS, you can use the following command:
- Change directory
- the directory located at /home/user
cd /home/user/directory
- delete
rm -rf *
In the command above, ‘rm’ is the delete command, ‘-rf’ option is used for recursively deleting folders and their contents, and ‘*’ wildcard is used to match all files in the folder.
Please note that the deletion process is irreversible, so use this command with caution. Make sure that the folder and its contents you want to delete are correct and that you have sufficient permission to delete them.
