Remove Folders from Current Folder

Open Live Script

Create the folders myproject and myproject/myfiles in the current folder, and then remove them.

mkdir myprojectmkdir myproject/myfilesrmdir myproject/myfilesrmdir myproject

Remove Nonempty Folder

Open Live Script

Remove the folder myfiles, which contains the files myfile1.m and myfile2.m.

Create the folder myfiles and move the files myfile1.m and myfile2.m from the current folder into the new folder.

mkdir myfilesmovefile myfile1.m myfilesmovefile myfile2.m myfiles

Try to remove the folder myfiles using rmdir. Because the myfiles folder is not empty, the operation fails and returns a status of 0 and an error message detailing why the operation failed.

[status, message, messageid] = rmdir('myfiles')
status = logical 0
message = ''myfiles' was not removed. The directory must be empty before removing.'
messageid = 'MATLAB:RMDIR:DirectoryNotRemoved'

Now, use the 's' flag to remove the folder myfiles. A status of 1 and an empty message and messageid indicate that the operation is successful.

[status, message, messageid] = rmdir('myfiles', 's')
status = logical 1
message = 0x0 empty char arraymessageid = 0x0 empty char array

Tips

  • You can use rmdir to create folders in remote locations. To write to a remote location, folderName or parentName must contain the full path of the file specified as a uniform resource locator (URL) of the form:

    schema_name://path_to_file/folderName

    or

    schema_name://path_to_file/parentName

    It is also valid to use one or three "slash" (/) characters between schema_name and path_to_file. For example:

    schema_name:/path_to_file/folderName

    or

    schema_name:///path_to_file/parentName

    Based on your remote location, schema_name can be one of the values in this table.

    File Systemschema_name
    Amazon S3™s3
    Windows Azure® Blob Storagewasb, wasbs
    HDFS™hdfs

    As with local folders, rmdir cannot remove nonempty virtual folders unless you specify the s flag. Some file services do not support empty folders. On these services, if rmdir removes folders and leaves their parent folder empty, then the parent folder will be removed as well. For more information, see Work with Remote Data.

Alternative Functionality

In the Current Folder browser, right-click the folder name and select Delete from the context menu. To open the Current Folder browser, use the Current Folder Browser command.

Extended Capabilities

Thread-Based Environment
Run code in the background using MATLAB® backgroundPool or accelerate code with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ ThreadPool.

Version History

Introduced before R2006a

expand all

Starting in R2020a, on UNIX® platforms, the wildcard expression *.* no longer matches folders or files without an extension. In previous releases, the expression matches folders or files regardless of extension, including files without an extension. This change of behavior does not apply to Microsoft® Windows® platforms.
