The mkdir and rmdir commands are used to create and delete directories. The ways these commands are used depends are on the concept of absolute and relative paths.
For example :
The following command create the test sub-directory to the current directory . If you're currently in the /home/michael directory ,the full path would be /home/michael/test.
$ mkdir test
creates the test directory
$ mkdir -p /test1/test2/tes3
create a series of directories.
The rmdir command deletes a directory only if it's empty . If you are cleaning up after the previous mkdir commands ,the -p switch is useful there as well.
The following command deletes the directory and sub-directories ,as long as all of the directories are otherwise empty.
$ rmdir -p /tets1/test2/test3
