I think the problem is with your menu structure. You have 3 levels of menus, but you can't call the 3rd level from the 2nd level. Note that you can call the 3rd level from the 1st level of menu, but options 5, 6, and 7 aren't shown from the 1st level.

So you have 2 options. Eliminate the 2nd level of menus (Filefunctions and Directory functions. To do this, just update the amenu function to add options 5, 6, and 7. The other option is to fix the 2nd level of menus to call the correct options.

Add this code to Filefunctions

read answer 
case $answer in 
    0) amenu ;; 
    5) Deletefile ;; 
esac

Add this code to Directoryfunctions

read answer 
case $answer in 
    0) amenu ;; 
    6) Deletedirectory ;; 
    7) Changedirectory ;;
esac
