mkdir

mkdir  #make directory EG:  mkdir books paintings   

You can also create subdirectories at the same time with the -p (parent flag).


mkdir -p enum/{recon,exploit,report}


rmdir  #remove directory  (doesnt work like rm for simple files)
rm #remove (to remove files) 
rm -f   #remove all files
rm -i #will prompt for each file to remove
rm -r #directory (to remove directory) also done with rmdir

Windows
del  (file to delete)

del powercat.ps1

Syntax is:

rm -rf dirName
 
 Say you have a directory named /tmp/data/ that contains two files and one directory as follows:
 
 ls -l /tmp/data/
 
 If you run rmdir, you will get an error as follows:
 
 rmdir /tmp/data/
 
 As explained earlier rmdir only delete the DIRECTORIES, if they are empty. 
 Therefore you must use the rm command to remove a full directory in Linux:
 
 rm -rf /tmp/data/   #-rf flag to recursively delete all files
