Overview

Remove (unlink) the FILE(s)

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

--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: do not remove '/' (default)

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

-d, --dir: remove empty directories

-v, --verbose: explain what is being done

-h, --help: Print help

-V, --version: Print version
