I was just wondering if someone could tell me how to remove directories. The only 2 ways I know, are 1 like windows right click, then delete, or the rm command on the command line. rm wouldn't let me remove a directory either. I went "man rm", and from what I read I thought it said if I do "rm -d", it would let me remove it, but that didn't work either.

I would be thankful for any help.
