[I had to look up in ru.po to untranslate your message; in the C locale,
this is complaining: invalid option -- 'r']
This is correct. rmdir does not have a -r option; perhaps you were
thinking of 'rm' instead of 'rmdir'?

Likewise, 'rmdir' does not have a -R option.

And here, the untranslated message is (roughly, assuming I guessed the
correct strerror translation mapping): failed to remove directory
/media...: directory not empty
That's because 'rmdir' only removes empty directories, but "KSP - Kerbal
Space Program 0.21.1 (2-click run)" appears to be a non-empty directory.
Again, use 'rm -r' not 'rmdir'.
I'm closing this as user error rather than a bug in coreutils, although
you may feel free to respond if you have more comments or questions on
the topic.
