- Remove specific files:
|
|
|
|
`rm {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files ignoring nonexistent ones:
|
|
|
|
`rm --force {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files interactively prompting before each removal:
|
|
|
|
`rm --interactive {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files printing info about each removal:
|
|
|
|
`rm --verbose {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files and directories recursively:
|
|
|
|
`rm --recursive {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove empty directories (this is considered the safe method):
|
|
|
|
`rm --dir {{path/to/directory}}`
