abrt-cli reports "is not a problem directory"

Question

we are try to remove all folders from /var/spool/abrt/ on rhel 7.2 machines

and that after we stop the services abrt-ccpp.service and abrtd.service

because we not want any more the core under spool

but we get

find /var/spool/abrt/  -type d  -exec abrt-cli rm '{}' \;
'/var/spool/abrt' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:13:41-64941' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:13:41-64941': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:16:12-2687' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:16:12-2687': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-14:20:09-61612' is not a problem directory

Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-15:12:03-55822': (null)

the folder under spool are

drwx------  2 root root 4096 Dec 16 11:54 ccpp-2019-11-20-18:43:24-8768
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Dec 16 11:54 ccpp-2019-11-20-12:14:55-1014

drwx------  2 root root 4096 Dec 16 11:54 ccpp-2019-11-20-16:13:48-52746

any solution for this problem?

we also try

 find /var/spool/abrt/ -mindepth 1 -type d -exec abrt-cli rm '{}' \;

'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:13:41-64941' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:13:41-64941': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:16:12-2687' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:16:12-2687': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-14:20:09-61612' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-14:20:09-61612': (null)
'/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-15:12:03-55822' is not a problem directory
Can't delete '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-15:12:03-55822': (null)

and we can see that we get the folder as

find /var/spool/abrt/ -mindepth 1 -type d  -print |more
/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2019-11-20-12:13:41-64941

Is the text "is not a problem directory" something that you have translated to English yourself? It would make sense if it said "no such file or directory" since you're deleting files and directories without using `-depth`. — Kusalananda, Dec 16 '20 at 13:39
is it ok just delete as --> find /var/spool/abrt/ -name -type d -exec rm -rf {} + ?? — yael, Dec 16 '20 at 14:15
