删除root / .ssh /中的.ssh目录

Question

I try to practice to use ssh keygen to generate public key and private key

And then I type cd .ssh

And it said there is no directory.

Then I found that I do it wrong. I use superuser to generate the key so it create the directory '/root/.ssh/'

Please help me to delete the .ssh directory in the root Thank you.

Answer 1

You need to log in as the superuser and delete the folder, or just use the sudo command.

sudo su
rm -rf /root/.ssh

or

sudo rm -rf /root/.ssh

Unless you cannot log into your superaccount, then thats a different story.
