The rm command is used to remove files or directories in Unix-like operating systems. It stands for “remove”.
rm [OPTION]... FILE...
-f, --force: Ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt.-i: Prompt before every removal.-I: Prompt once before removing more than three files, or when removing recursively.-r, -R, --recursive: Remove directories and their contents recursively.-d, --dir: Remove empty directories.--help: Display help information and exit.--version: Output version information and exit.Remove a file:
rm filename
Remove multiple files:
rm file1 file2 file3
Remove a directory and its contents recursively:
rm -r directory
Force remove a file without prompting:
rm -f filename
Prompt before removing each file:
rm -i filename
Be very careful with the rm command, especially with the -r and -f options, as it can delete important files and directories permanently.
