Using sudo

Before you start this assignment, make sure the permissions on the worldbanc/private/contacts directory are drwx------, that the owner is root, and that you're not signed in as root. If you've been following along, all of those should be true. You can check with the ls -l command.

Assignment

You told senior staff about the contacts directory and its contents, and they've decided to delete it entirely.

Go ahead and try to delete the contacts directory with the rm command:
```
rm -r contacts
```
The contacts directory should fail to delete! You do not have permission to delete it. It's owned by the root user, and you're not root.
Try again as root by using sudo.
Once you have confirmed that you were able to delete it, run the ls command from inside the private directory.

Paste the output of the private directory's contents into the input field and submit your answer.
