How to delete a nonempty directory in jupyter notebook

[Yingqiang Yuan]

It might be a basic question but I cannot do the usual “rm -f” because I don’t have permission. I need to do that because my .ipynb file had some undesired changes but could not go back.

What are you trying to delete? How are you trying to delete it?

You definitely have permissions to delete things in your JupyterHub container.  If you open a terminal in JupyterLab you can get a shell in your container and use most BASH commands.

I just got it fixed. Thanks for your follow-up.
