rm

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  the	-I  or	--interactive=once  option  is given, and there are more than three files or the -r, -R, or --recursive are given, then rm
       prompts the user for whether to proceed with the entire operation.  If the response is not affirmative, the entire command is aborted.

       Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and the -f or --force option is  not  given,  or  the	-i  or	--interac-
       tive=always option is given, rm prompts the user for whether to remove the file.  If the response is not affirmative, the file is skipped.

OPTIONS

       Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

       -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; less intrusive than -i, while still giving protec-
	      tion against most mistakes

       --interactive[=WHEN]
	      prompt according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or always (-i); without WHEN, prompt always

       --one-file-system
	      when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any directory that is on a file system different from that of the corresponding  command
	      line argument

       --no-preserve-root
	      do not treat '/' specially

       --preserve-root
	      do not remove '/' (default)

       -r, -R, --recursive
	      remove directories and their contents recursively

       -d, --dir
	      remove empty directories

       -v, --verbose
	      explain what is being done

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       By  default, rm does not remove directories.  Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of
       its contents.

       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 might be possible to recover some of its contents, given  sufficient  expertise  and/or  time.
       For greater assurance that the contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
