rm

Remove files or directories.

• Remove files from arbitrary locations:

rm {path/to/file} {path/to/another/file}

• Recursively remove a directory and all its subdirectories:

rm -r {path/to/directory}

• Forcibly remove a directory, without prompting for confirmation or showing error messages:

rm -rf {path/to/directory}

• Interactively remove multiple files, with a prompt before every removal:

rm -i {file(s)}

• Remove files in verbose mode, printing a message for each removed file:

rm -v {path/to/directory/*}
