How can you empty the contents of a directory in Linux?

To empty the contents of a directory, you can use the following command:

1. Use the rm command to delete all files and subdirectories in a directory.

rm -rf /path/to/directory/*

This command will delete all files and subdirectories within the directory, but will keep the directory itself.

1. Use the combination of the find command with the rm command to delete all files and subdirectories in a directory.

find /path/to/directory/ -mindepth 1 -delete

This command will remove all files and subdirectories in the directory, including the directory itself.

The difference between the two commands lies in whether or not the directory itself is retained.

注意：这些操作将永久删除文件和文件夹，务必慎重使用。
