How to delete a non-empty directory in Ubuntu?

In Ubuntu, you can use the following command to delete a non-empty directory:

1. Delete
2. -r (just one option needed)

rm -r 目录名

For example, to remove a non-empty directory named mydirectory, you can execute the following command:

rm -r mydirectory

1. remove directory
2. Please provide more context or a specific phrase for me to paraphrase in English.

rmdir -r 目录名

Please note that the rmdir command can only delete empty directories, but using the -r option can delete non-empty directories. Similarly, to delete a non-empty directory named mydirectory, you can run the following command:

rmdir -r mydirectory

Please be aware that deleting a non-empty directory is a risky operation. Make sure the directory and its contents you want to delete are indeed what you intended to delete, as once deleted, it cannot be recovered. Before executing these commands, be sure to back up important files and data.
