Remove a Linux directory with rmdir when empty or rm -ri when not—list hidden files, measure size, and quarantine unsure folders before -rf.

Find the Linux size of a directory with du -sh, compare subfolders with depth limits, sort results, and use df -h to check free disk space.

Zip a folder on Linux with zip -r, control parent paths and excludes, verify with unzip -l, and keep archives portable for sharing.

Unzip on Linux by installing unzip, listing with unzip -l, extracting with unzip -d into a safe folder, and testing integrity first.
