✨ HRMDIR(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual 💖 this one's about hrmdir, and she is so simple she's basically iconic for it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

hrmdir — remove an empty HFS directory

like, delete a folder. but only if it's empty. she's picky. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hrmdir hfs-path [...]

that's it. that's the whole thing. one or more paths, go off. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so hrmdir deletes directories (that's folders, for my Mac girlies 🍓) from the current HFS volume.

and here's the part you gotta hear: each named directory must already be empty. like, not a single file, not a single subfolder, nothing. if it's got anything in it, this is not the tool and she will not be doing that. 🙈

not me trying to delete a folder with stuff in it... she must be empty, bestie. that's the whole vibe check.

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • $HOME/.hcwd

the little file that remembers where you are in the HFS volume. main character energy, honestly. ⭐
