[Ubuntu-BD] home directory space

[Nasimul Haque]

You don't need sudo always. try without sudo first. If it complains
about permission error, then add sudo.

However, the solution to your problem is this

rm -rf YOUR_FOLDER

rm only delete files. To delete folders you need -r that is, recursive
flag on. And -f means do not ask for confirmation.
