Remove (unlink) the FILE(s)

Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE...

Arguments:
  [files]...

Options:
  -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 some protection against
                               most mistakes
      --interactive[=<WHEN>]   prompt according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or always (-i). Without
                               WHEN,
                               prompts always [possible values: always, once, never]
      --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
                               (NOT
                               IMPLEMENTED)
      --no-preserve-root       do not treat '/' specially
      --preserve-root[=<all>]  do not remove '/' (default); with 'all', reject any command line
                               argument on a separate device from its parent [possible values: all]
  -r, --recursive              remove directories and their contents recursively [alias: -R]
  -d, --dir                    remove empty directories
  -v, --verbose                explain what is being done
  -g, --progress               display a progress bar. Note: this feature is not supported by GNU
                               coreutils.
  -h, --help                   Print help
  -V, --version                Print version

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.
