Why a directory can not be able rmdir?
 

I have happened to install tow versions of php,php-4 and php-5,later I want drop off php-5.I issured the command rmdir,but php-5 remained there.Why and how can I delete completly the software?

First thing is if you want to ask for help then give as much information as possible.
What command did you give to remove the dir ?
please give this exactly.
ie
also make sure you have permission to remove the dir.

rmdir only removes empty directories

if you want to delete a directory with file do cd to the directory where the directory is you want to delete example cd /directory/
then do rm -rf directory_you_want_to_delete
