  Path to the SX configuration directory (default: ~/.sx)

- **-f**, **--filter-dir**=*PATH*

## EXAMPLES

To remove a non-empty volume 'trash' first recursively remove all its files and then remove the volume itself:\
     **sxrm -r sx://admin@cluster/trash**     **sxvol remove sx://admin@cluster/trash**
