hello to all linux people. I have a problem, I installed CS(Counter Strike) on Suse 10. 1, i followed the instructions to installation, i tried to play it, it did not work. i dont care. i want to remove it now. i tried many different commands. i know that the directory which contains the files, hlds, has a little, yellow lock on the icon. The commands i tried are rmdir, rm -r, remove, and others. i also read somewhere that i have to unlink it, which i look for but could not find on the internet.
thanks in advance.
in short, how can i remove a directory in Suse 10. 1 when it is not empty and has the little yellow lock on the icon of the directory?
You probably need superuser (administrator) privideges to remove it. Type su, and your root password to get a root prompt. is probably the command you want. Make sure you remove what you mean to…
rm -rf
What error message do you get when you do ‘rm -r hlds’? Maybe you need to be ‘root’ to delete? Type ‘man rm’ in a terminal to see the rm manual page. Try these sites below:http://www.ss64.com/bash/http://www.tldp.org/
