    How To remove directory in linux

    I am a newbie when it comes to linux. I have installed linux on my computer for the first time. I have created many directories on desktop and home folder. I want to remove some directories. How do i remove those directories? Any easy way?

    I hope you have used windows. Right-click on the folder and select delete option. If it asks for confirmation, click on Yes to delete. You can also delete a folder by simply clicking on it and pressing "del" button on the keyboard. All the best!
