Removing Directories
To remove a directory with all its files and subdirectories, use the

privileged EXEC command.
Use the
/recursive
keyword to delete the named directory and all subdirectories and the files contained in it.
Use the
/force
keyword to suppress the prompting that confirms a deletion of each file in the directory. You
are prompted only once at the beginning of this deletion process.

file-url
, enter the name of the directory to be
deleted. All of the files in the directory and the directory are removed.
When directories are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered.
