4.5.1 rm – Remove Forever

When you no longer need a file, use rm to remove it. Unlike some graphical user interfaces, the command line in general does not have a waste bin or trash can to recover files. When you use rm to remove a file, the file is gone. Therefore, be careful when removing files! ^[feedback]
