Neither of those options would be appropriate to remove a directory and its contents. The -d option is almost never appropriate. If you have to ask about the -d option then I am certain that it is not the option you want. The command you are probably looking for is: rm -rf /path/to/some/directory-to-be-removed Remember that 'rm' removes files. Be careful when using it.
