Good day.

No, you are mistaken.

The point of a forum, such as this one, is to help folks who help themselves, not do all their reading and research for them.

I answered your question and mentioned you could use the rm command. The correct response by you is to do some research, search the forum for answers, and perhaps, even read the man page for the rm command.

If you had of done this, you would see there is no "-s" switch for rm and might have learned something in the process.

The point of a forum, including this one, is not to replace your own research and reading.

We help people who help themselves. We don't do their reading for them, unless they show they are, at least, trying.

You did not even try to read the rm command I recommended.

OBTW, forum rules are to search the forum before posting questions.

partx

PARTX(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  PARTX(8)

NAME

       partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.

SYNOPSIS

       partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  block	device	(  disk  ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or
       remove partitions.

       This is not an fdisk - adding and removing partitions is not a change of the disk, but just telling the kernel about presence and numbering
       of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS

       -a     add specified partitions or read disk and add all partitions

       -d     delete specified or all partitions

       -l     list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.

       --type TYPE
	      Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.

       --nr M-N
	      Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).

SEE ALSO

       addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)

AVAILABILITY

       The partx command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
