Do you want to remove actual directories (example)? or entries in some directory only? To see the difference: suppose you're in /foo/bar/ and you manage to remove .. It may be you remove /foo/bar/; or it may be /foo/bar/ still exists but there is no longer . in it.

Why would you do this? Do you know that .. refers to the parent directory, and . to the current directory?
