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
       is not affirmative, 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;  this
              works only if your system

              supports 'unlink' for nonempty directories)

       -f, --force
              ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

       -i, --interactive
              prompt before any removal

       --no-preserve-root do not treat '/' specially (the default)

       --preserve-root
              fail to operate recursively on '/'

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

       -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 is usually possible to recover the
       contents of that file.  If you want more assurance  that  the  contents  are  truly
       unrecoverable, consider using shred.
