Symfony 3, linux: how to clear cache?

How do I place myself in the Symfony folder with the command in order to clear the cache? The only way I know to access the Symfony files is by typing:

gksudo nautilus /opt/lampp/htdocs

But after using this command the terminal window gets inactvie. I need to open another terminal window to do other actions.

I am running on Linux and Symfony 3. The command I am trying to use to clear the cache is:

php bin/console cache:clear

Otherwise, since I can open the Symfony files with the command above, is it safe to delete everything there is in Symfony/var/cache/dev ?

The new command to clear the cache in Symfony 3.3 is:

php bin/console cache:clear --no-warmup -e prod

Where -e prod is the environment, and can be either -e prod or -e dev. And yes it is safe to delete var/cache completely; that will delete all the cache.

EDIT #2 based on comments

Also, run the above command in the folder:

/opt/lampp/htdocs/Symfony
