rm

Short for "remove", used to delete files.

Most significantly, you will need to know how to delete directories that contain other stuff:

rm -rf something_to_delete

and of course, how to force file deletion and give a sucessful return value even if the delete fails:

rm -f some_file

For other info, check out your local ''man rm''
