i tried the command with Sudo option.

Answer 1

try ls -a to see if there's any hidden file.

You can remove recursively using rm -r

Answer 2

rm -rf /home/user/directory

Answer 3

Try

ls -a -l

To show hidden files, then remove them.

Or, to force the directory and everything inside it to be deleted, try:

rm -r directory

Answer 4

Load up your terminal and type the following:

cd ~/

rm -rf ./my-directory

This should work assuming you have the correct permissions
