root question
 

im pretty sure that this is possible but how would i go about makeing a directory so it can only be opened by the root user. soz if this is a really basic question but im a complete noob.

root only directory

in order to change an existing directory
run this commond
chown root.root <directory>
chmod 700 <directory>

replace <directory> with your directory (existing one)
