Make a directory. Use mkdir -p to create subdirectories
automatically. |Directories are Folders| Directories are
sometimes called folders in other operating systems (such as
Microsoft Windows) mkdir -p /home/matt/work/maths This would
create the directories “work” and “maths” under matt's home
directory (if matt's home directory didn't exist it would create
that too). This would create a directory in the current path
named “foo”. Remove/delete a file(s) or directories(s). You can
use standard wildcards with this command Section 20.4.1. rm
-options file_or_folder You can of course use standard wildcards
to delete multiple files or multiple directories and files. Use
the -R or -r option to remove recursively, this removes
everything within subdirectories. Also try the -f option to
force removal (useful when you don't want to be prompted).
|Disabling Aliases (per execution)| On some systems such as
Mandrake an alias will send rm to rm -i (prompting you for every
file you wish to delete). To override this use: \r
