[SOLVED] Error removing file: Directory not empty

Hello.
I use Debian 8 x64 and when I want to remove a directory, Linux tell me "Error removing file: Directory not empty" but when I open the directory, It is Empty

Any idea?

Are you sure there are no hidden files in this directory?

Code:

ls -al

Have you tried;

Code:

rm -rf <dir>

Problem solved. A process worked with this directory.

FWIW, you can identify if a file/directory is being used with either the "fuser" or "lsof" commands.
