Learning how to delete a file in the Linux terminal makes it incredibly easy to manage your files quickly without needing a graphical user interface.
Delete a Single File
To delete a file, you simply need to use the rm (remove) command followed by the name of the file that you want to delete.
rm filename.txt
Delete Multiple Files
If you want to delete multiple files at once, use the rm command followed by all the file names separated by a space.
rm file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
Note: Please exercise caution when deleting files or directories via the terminal. Once a file is deleted using the rm command, it is permanently removed and cannot be easily recovered.
