Im having problems trying to empty a folder in my script.
This is working in my command line:
rm -r Folder1/Folder2/*
But if in my script I do this:
DIR="Folder1/Folder2/"
rm -r "$DIR*"
It says “rm: Folder1/Folder2/*: No such file or directory”, where is the problem?
Im running the script in the same folder as I tried the command.
