We execute the command 

 
{noformat}
hadoop fs -rm "/a/b/c/*"
{noformat}
Still facing the similar issues in the 2.8.2 version. But in case of "/a/b/c/" 
It is unable to remove the files. That's the reason we use "/*" which removes 
everything inside the directory.

> This issue is regarding hadoop fs -rm command. 
> In hadoop version 2.4.0 when we execute "hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/*",
> It removes the files inside the c directory only.
> But in case of versions higher to 2.8.2,
> When we execute "hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/**" or "hdfs dfs -rm /a/b/c/**"
> It removes the inside files and directory as well.
> Please look into the issue.
