Linux

Linux's pinpoint control could be used to limit other users on Linux to how much information and files they can access. Changing the ownership of a file can be done in a few ways, but the most prominent is by using the Chown command. We start with looking at the current owner of a directory first before proceeding to change it. Once done, you can use the command chown with the recursive -R parameter to change the ownership of a directory. In case of files, mention the ownership change and then the file names to instantly change the ownership.

If you're new to Linux and don't know how to delete a directory, here's a simple guide to show you how to delete a directory in Linux via both GUI and Terminal. Via GUI, you can right-click on a directory and click Move to Trash. If you're feeling adventurous, launch the terminal to use the rm, find, and rmdir command line utilities to remove directories on Linux.
