how to delete directory in a existing directory with single command


Hi

I had created directory using single command
Code:
mkdir -p a/{b,c,d/e/f,g}
, and my questions is how can i delete the directory 'b,c,d and g' only with the single command.

i already try this command

Code:
rmdir -p a/{b,c,g}
rm -f a/{b,c,g}
with no luck

Thanks
