remove files unix

if the delete in your ftp client doesnt work and you appear to have a bunch of empty folders that cant be deleted

rm

This command will remove (destroy) a file. You should enter this command with the -i option, so that you’ll be asked to confirm each file deletion. To remove a file named junk, enter:
rm -i junk

Note: Using rm will remove a file permanently, so be sure you really want to delete a file before you use rm.

To remove a non-empty subdirectory, rm accepts the -r option. On most systems this will prompt you to confirm the removal of each file. This behavior can be prevented by adding the -f option. To remove an entire subdirectory named oldstuff and all of its contents, enter:
rm -rf oldstuff

Note: Using this command will cause rm to descend into each subdirectory within the specified subdirectory and remove all files without prompting you. Use this command with caution, as it is very easy to accidently delete important files. As a precaution, use the ls command to list the files within the subdirectory you wish to remove. To browse through a subdirectory named oldstuff, enter:
ls -R oldstuff | less
