Getting rid of unwanted files
Getting rid of unwanted files |
|
Once you have no more need for a disk file, you can get rid of it
permanently by using the Unix rm
command.
Warning! When you remove a file, it is gone forever. There is no easy way to get it back. Please be careful that you do not remove a file that you really need.
To delete a file from your account, enter this command:
% rm name
where name identifies the file you want to remove.
You can remove more than one file at a time. For example, this command
% rm oldbills oldnotes badjokes
would remove the three named files.
