I am trying to delete a folder and that folder contains many subfolders, every folder has a different permission so i am not able to delete the main folder.

I have tried to change the permisson to

chmod 775 * but that wont change the permission of the subfolders and the files within the subfolders, how can i change the permission of all subfolders and files at once.

Thanks.

chmod -R 755 folder
rm -fr folder

Actually Linux is case sensitive when entering commands, so the -R should work.
