How to delete and remove files on RHEL (Red Hat) Linux

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems, you can use the rm command to delete and remove files. The rm command allows you to remove one or more files and directories from the file system.

Here are some examples of how to use the rm command to delete and remove files on RHEL:

To delete a single file:

$ rm file.txt

To delete multiple files:

$ rm file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

To delete a directory and all of its contents (including subdirectories and files):

$ rm -r directory

Note: Be careful when using the rm command, as it permanently deletes the specified files and directories and there is no way to recover them. Use the -i flag to prompt for confirmation before deleting each file.

For more advanced usage of the rm command, you can refer to the rm man page by running man rm on the command line.
