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??

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.

rm -rf
iterative? The-r
stands for recursive. :-)
