Hi, i wrote a small interactive script a while ago for this purpose: https://github.com/RHofsaess/xrd-interactive I didn't tested it for the current version of xrootd (last one was 5.4.2) and I am currently not developing it further due to time limitations. But recursive rm should work :D Else, you can try gfal2. This also allows recursive rm of directories that contain files. Have a nice day.

Dear Xrootd developers, Please excuse me if this is not the right way to ask user questions, I could not find any other channel online. I want to remove a folder from grid storage. From checking the manual, the command to do so would be $ xrdfs $HOST rmdir $PATH_TO_FOLDER However, this folder contains many folders and files, and rmdir only works for empty folders. Is there a way to make it work recursively? Or do I need to write my own script to take care of it? Thank you for your time, Francisco Vazquez de Sola ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-L&A=1 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-L&A=1
