You have just deleted a user with the "userdel" command. You have checked in the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group files and all references to them are gone. You cd to the /home directory and see that the user's home directory is still present. While in the /home directory, what command must you issue to delete the now defunct user's home directory? Select only one answer.

1. rmdir /username
2. rmdir -f /username
3. rmdir -fm /username
4. rm -df /username
5. rm -R /username
6. None of the above commands will delete the user's home directory.

It's the big 50, oh, wait, that was a couple of years ago. It's 5.

 

I'd use rm -rf /home/username myself but 5 will do

 

Answer time. Correct answer is #5.
