yes it’s recursively deleting the PIctures directory and ALL it’s contents.
rmdir only deletes empty directories.
[EDIT]
I didn’t expect it to ask permission (probably because I said to use the “verbose” option) … stop if you want, and run it as root with:
sudo rm -r ~/Pictures
[EDIT 2]
That must be peculiar to Pardus … on Ubuntu it only ask for every file if you include the -i option ???
OK try the “force” option:
rm -rf ~/Pictures
Thanks for clearing that up :). I have hundreds of photos so that would have taken a little while…
After running the next two lines, I got;
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
45G 5.3G 39G 12% /
/dev/sda1 485M 23M 437M 5% boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home
4.4G 3.5G 643M 85% home
tmpfs 1003M 2.6M 1000M 1% /dev/shm
OK, fingers crossed … reboot to test with:
sudo reboot
Okay
My fingers are crossed…
I’m typing this from my own (Pardus running) computer… It worked!
Thank you for you help, advice and patience.
My sticky notes, favourites and files all seem intact. I’ll be shopping for that external hard drive in the morning (proper morning).
Thanks again
Debbie
You’re welcome
If you earlier deleted the ~/Music directory … it may be a good idea to re-create it, as it’s probably a system directory:
mkdir ~/Music
if it already exists, that command will fail … but it won’t hurt to run it.
I ran the command, it failed and when I checked, yes it did exist so the success is all down to your instruction
Thank you
Have fun, and goodnight
Goodnight
THANK YOU Mark! You just saved my belowed Pardus system!
All the best!
