Deleting mounted shares in user-created directories
Linux Notes
Dec 12, 2021
While doing TryHackMe rooms, I most often use my own VM, and while I keep room notes on things I have learned, I like to remove any files or directories I know I will no longer need (I really like an uncluttered workspace.)
On Day 12 of the Try Hack Me Advent of Cyber, we created 2 “/tmp” folders for mounted shares. These notes are how I removed them. These steps only remove mounted shares in these user-created directories, not the main /tmp* or /var/tmp* directories.
The commands:
- Unmount (use sudo)
sudo umount tmp1 sudo umount tmp2
2. Remove (recursively)
rm -r tmp1
rm -r tmp2
And my workspace is clear again!
