How to delete files in a Linux terminal?

@alivia In deleting a file, you use the command ‘rm’. This will remove any file specified in front of the command. i.e

1

rm filename.txt

If you want to remove several files, you may also use a wildcard for example

1

rm  *.jpg

To delete files in a Linux terminal, you can use the rm command followed by the file or directory path.

Here are some common usage examples:

1. Delete a file: rm file.txt
2. Delete multiple files: rm file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
3. Delete all files in a directory (non-recursively): rm *
4. Delete all files in a directory (recursively): rm -r *
5. Delete a directory and its contents (recursively): rm -r directory/

Important: Be cautious when using the rm command, as it permanently deletes files and directories without moving them to the trash. Make sure you double-check the files you want to delete before executing the command.
