rmdir

Remove a directory.

Syntax

rmdir(dirname)
rmdir(dirname, 's')
[status, message, messageid] = rmdir(...)

Description

Removes the named directory. By default the directory must be empty; pass 's' to remove it recursively along with all its contents.

Use 's' with care — recursive removal is permanent and irreversible.

Examples

rmdir('emptydir')
rmdir('outputs', 's')    % remove recursively
