Linux / Unix Command: rm
rm [OPTION]… FILE…
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.
