Recursively delete hidden directory & its files?

Question

I want to delete all hidden directoris from a directory and its sub-directory. I also use rm -rf .directory_name this command is iterative command I want to a recursive command. Please anybody help me??

Answer 1

It sounds like you want something like this (although it's not clear what you mean when distinguishing "iterative command" from "recursive command", since rm -rf is both recursive and iterative):

LC_ALL=C find . -name '.?*' -type d -exec echo rm -rf {} +

Once you're happy, remove echo from the option arguments to -exec to remove the listed directories.
