deleting files or directories in terminal

[gamewolf]

I cant figure out or find out in google how to do delete files or folders from the directory. Anyone know?

[devils casper]

cd to directory and execute

rm <filename>

for deleting directory, use -r option.

rm -r <directory>

check manual of rm command. man rm.
you can't delete file or directory outside your home folder. you have to gain root privileges for that.
check LinuxCommand.org: Learn the Linux command line. Write shell scripts.
