/home
Or, a user's home directory will usually be /home/<username>.
For example, say your user name is jsmith: /home/jsmith
Assuming the directory is in your Home directory use: rmdir directory-name This will fail if there are files within the directory. In this case, use rm -r directory-name.
it will be of the name which is selected by Govind.....
If your user name is tom it would be /home/tom or if your user name is Mary it would be /home/Mary
Each user (on a multi-user computer) has a home directory, and it is the first directory shown after a user logs in. For instance: rodney@downstairs:~$ shows that my user name is rodney, my host or computer name is 'downstairs', the tilde '~' shows that I am in my home directory, and the dollar sign '$' shows that all is ready for me to type in a command. Typing the command 'pwd' (without the single quotes) in a terminal will show which directory you are in - pwd means 'print working directory'. The command 'ls' will list all directories.
The root directory is /. The home directory is /home/user.
The default home directory is /home/user (where "user" is the username), sometimes shortened to "~".
"cd" with no directory takes you to your home (login) directory. In a path, ~ (tilde) means your home directory, ~usr means the home directory of user usr. For example, "cp ~/foo ~john" copies file foo from your home directory to john's.
The root directory is the top level directory of the entire file system. Every branch starts from there. The current working directory is where you happen to be in the tree at the moment. If the root is always "/" and my process is in the directory /usr/local/bin/test/data, then the root directory is still "/" and my working directory is currently /usr/local/bin/test/data
All you need is the PWD(Print Working Directory) command, this will list your current directory absolute path All you need is the PWD(Print Working Directory) command, this will list your current directory absolute path
It is the Home Directory.
Use the 'cd' command without any target; that always puts you in the home directory which becomes by default the working directory.
There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is just to type the command 'CD', which automatically puts you in your home directory. Other ways: CD $HOME CD ~ CD ~login-id (use your login-id here) If you know the absolute path name, just use it with the 'CD' command: CD /home/staff/guy1
