 | View Full Version : Force deletion of a folder VIA SSH SimsFreak 07-26-2004, 09:14 PM How do I force SSH to delete a folder without having to delete all the contents in the folders? Modernbill does'nt seem to want to get off my server and there are WAYYYY to many files/folders to go threw thanks! The files are not allowing me to delete them VIA FTP, even if CHMOD settings are changed.
