cli can't find folder that is right there

  • 772

I'll admit that i'm a noob at ubuntu, i only have it installed for 2 days. i wanted to delete the stacer config folder through the terminal but it says it can't find it, even when i typed rmdir with the complete directory of the folder. what am i doing wrong?

(btw the text is in french but it basically says that it was impossible to complete the action since there was no such file)

gabriel@acer:~/.config/stacer$ sudo rmdir /.config/stacer
rmdir: impossible de supprimer '/.config/stacer': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

    The preceding / is the problem. It's looking in your root instead of in your home directory.

    Try: 

    rmdir ~/.config/stacer

    Since it's in your home directory, sudo is probably unnecessary.
