NAME
rm - remove files or directoriesSYNOPSIS
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.
