RM(1) User Commands RM(1)NAME
rm - remove files or directories
SYNOPSIS
rm [OPTION]... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of rm. rm removes each specified file. By default, it does not remove directories.
If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and the -f or --force option is not given, rm prompts the user for whether to remove
the file. If the response does not begin with `y' or `Y', the file is skipped.
OPTIONS
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
-d, --directory
unlink FILE, even if it is a non-empty directory (super-user only)
-f, --force
ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
-i, --interactive
prompt before any removal
-r, -R, --recursive
remove the contents of directories recursively
-v, --verbose
explain what is being done
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for example `-foo', use one of these commands:
rm -- -foo
rm ./-foo
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the
contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
