Exam 101-500 Topic 3 Question 214 Discussion

Actual exam question for Lpi's 101-500 exam
Question #: 214
Topic #: 3
A user accidentally created the subdirectory \dir in his home directory. Which of the following commands will remove that directory?

Suggested Answer: E Vote an answer

The rmdir command removes an empty directory. To remove a directory whose name contains a backslash, the backslash must be escaped with another backslash. Therefore, the correct command is rmdir ~/\dir. The other commands will either fail to find the directory or interpret the backslash as part of a path name.
