HackerEarth Directory Deletion problem solution

In this HackerEarth Directory Deletion problem solution, You are given a directory tree of N directories/folders. Each directory is represented by a particular id which ranges from 1 to N. The id of the root directory is 1, then it has some child directories, those directories may contain some other ones and it goes on. Now you are given a list of directories id's to delete, you need to find the minimum number of directories that need to be deleted so that all the directories in the given list get deleted.
