[LUG] Directory Removal Problem

[Julian Hall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to remove two directories in my home folder.  Both eachhave 1 
subfolder which is *empty* - at least ls shows no content in them.  
However they won't go away even when I use 'rmdir 
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty'.

Ideas gratefully received.  BTW I think now I know why it's bad to 
install programs to/home.... system just had a mare when it said 
/home/julian was out of diskspace and caused me to spend 20 minutes 
while it checked the drives on a reboot.  I think perhaps I'll reinstall 
Thunderbird and Firefox in /usr/bin (that is the right place isn't it?)

BTW if I do reinstall them, can I cut a corner and just lob the whole 
folder for each into /usr/bin or is that bad?

Kind regards,

Julian
