# Deleting Directories Of Files From netrw
|
|
|
|
In `netrw`, you can delete files and directories by navigating over the
|
|
target of deletion and hitting `D`.
|
|
|
|
By default, `netrw` will use `rmdir` when deleting directories. This means
|
|
that if a directory has files in it, then it won't be deleted. `rmdir`
|
|
rightly gives an error when the target directory isn't empty.
|
|
|
|
Not to worry though, `netrw` can be configured to use `rm -r` instead of
|
|
`rmdir` when deleting directories.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:let g:netrw_localrmdir='rm -r'
|
|
```
