can you just tell me how to remove this directory? plz… urgent help required …
{ 4 comments… read them below or add one }
If you want to delete only the soft link and not the target directory, do this
rm -f windows
Dont put the ‘/’ after ‘windows’
If you want to delete the target directory then change to ‘/’ and delete it normally.
Try this — ‘file windows’ and ‘file windows/’
Try this…this should work…
$chmod -R 755 windows
$rm -rf windows
if this works inform me…
@Rockingatul
It would be very kind of you if you would not tell that method to anyone else in your lifetime becuase people may kill you. If I might have tried that command, I would have lost my 120GB of data.
i see the word WINDOWS… so ill just assume you have to format and reinstall!
