Firstly, this won't work, since there are a couple of . files in there
(.version for example)

Secondly, that isn't the sort of command to provide to a newbie lightly.

You might try this if you don't like the other options to mv the
directory to a different name:
rm -rvf /usr/src/asterisk

rm is to delete a file
r = recursively delete all files and folders that it finds
v = verbose so it will tell you what it is doing (CTRL-C if you realise
you have made a mistake to stop it!)
f = force (ie, don't ask for confirmation on every single
file/directory)

Use "man rm" and "man rmdir" for more information.

Regards,
Adam
