to delete a file use
rm -f filename
to create an empty file issue
touch filename
then you can open it and write whatever you want
also you can create an empty file and start editing it right away with any text editor, for instance vi
vi filename

also to add to this, rmdir will remove a directory.

man rmdir
man rm
for all available options.
