The rmdir command on Linux removes one or more empty directories from the system.
The most common options are:
Examples:
Remove the favorites directory:
$ rmdir favorites
Remove the a/b/c/d subdirectories:
$ rmdir -p a/b/c/d
Try to remove the music directory, but it’s not empty:
$ rmdir songs rmdir: failed to remove “songs”: Directory not empty
