Recursively removes all files from the directory and all under it.
The easiest way is to use the 'rm' command recursively. For example, the command: rm -rf /data/test/docs/fall would remove the directory 'fall' from /data/test/docs, even if it isn't empty.
rm -rf /
If you are just removing the directory, use the command: rmdir dir-name The dir-name directory has to be empty for this to work. If there are files or other subdirectories then use the command: rm -rf dir-name
The rm command is used to delete a file or directory. Its syntax isrm file or rm -r directoryExample:rm myfilerm -r /home/user/mystuff
I assume you mean the user's ssh directory, which is stored in their home directory. Use the following command: rm -rf .ssh This will remove any previously used and verified ssh connections so any connections after that via ssh will need to be verified.
To remove a directory that is full with other files or directories, use the below command. rm -rf directory

To delete a file, type: rm filename To delete a file, but prompt for confirmation first use: rm -i filename In both cases, replace filename with the name of the file you're wanting to remove.
In Unix, use the 'man' command.
