if youve been using windows the mac os or even a linux distro that is designed similarly to one of them youve probably tried deleting a file by dragging it into the recycle bin or pressing delete on the file to place it there and then emptying out the recycle bin but this method of file deletion doesnt actually delete the file and to understand why we need to take a closer look at how these operating systems handle storage and access to files so when you have a mechanical hard drive your files and folders are stored in what are called sectors of the spinning disc and each one of these sectors has enough space for about 512 bytes and windows the mac os and linux keep track of what sectors have data in them and what data is in those sectors by using pointers and a pointer works kind of like a directional sign that tells you something is located in a specific place so the pointer doesnt actually represent the file itself or the data that is in it but rather it just represents where yo

Use the command rm (short for remove) to delete a single file or multiple files.
In Linux, how can I delete files and directories? rm {file-name} rm -i {file-name} rm -v {file-name} rm -f {file-name} Multiple files can be deleted: rm file-name*.ext. rm file-name-[123]
Deleting files (rm command) To delete the file named myfile, type the following: rm myfile. To delete all the files in the mydir directory, one by one, type the following: rm -i mydir/* After each file name displays, type y and press Enter to delete the file. Or to keep the file, just press Enter.
Delete the directory and its contents: To delete the directory and all its contents, use the rm command with the -r option, which stands for recursive. Type rm -r mydirectory and press Enter. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Type y and press Enter to confirm.
Use the rm command to remove files you no longer need. The rm command removes the entries for a specified file, group of files, or certain select files from a list within a directory. User confirmation, read permission, and write permission are not required before a file is removed when you use the rm command.
Using dd Command The dd command is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, including securely deleting files and directories in Linux. This command works by overwriting data in file or directory with zeros, making it nearly impossible to recover original data.
To remove a file, user needs write w and access x permission on the directory. It does not matter how the files permissions (or ownership) are set. Any user with w and x on the directory can delete any file in the directory.
The rm command is one of the fundamental commands in Linux for managing files and directories. It stands for remove and, as the name suggests, its used to delete files and directories.
