Hi Wenchao,
To clean a folder in MATLAB, you can use the "rmdir" function. This function removes a directory and all its contents. The syntax for using the "rmdir" function is as follows:
rmdir('folder_name','s')
In this command: - 'folder_name' is the name of the folder you want to delete. - 's' specifies that the deletion should be recursive, meaning all subfolders and files within the specified folder will also be deleted.
For example, if you want to clean a folder named 'myFolder' in MATLAB, you would use the following command:
rmdir('myFolder','s')
This command will delete the 'myFolder' directory along with all its contents. It's important to note that the "rmdir" function permanently deletes files and folders, so use it with caution. Make sure you have backups of any important data before executing this command.

Hope that answers your question.
