i exactly wanted to known about rmdir. what is the shell prog. for deleting non empty directory using rmdir?

The command "rmdir" deletes an empty directory.
If you want to delete a directory which has content (files and/or more directories) use "rm -r".
By the way, users Sweet Baby and Yahoo Admin, you've been reported. This is serious.

Gotta either program it or use a GUI file manager for it, there isn't a commandline alternative to rm that I know of.
Unless you count on mkfs for entire drive.
