Deleting files!
 

<Begin name calling>
How do you delete files? I have a bunch I need to get rid of but I'll be damned if I know the command. I've tried rem, rmv, del, etc. Thanks for the help. :)

The command is rm

Thanks. Now say, I wanted to rm a dir that wasnt empty. Trying rmdir doesnt seem to work. I want to delete the entire folder and its contents.

rm -rf


don't do rm -rf /
as this will fubar your system!!
you have been warned.............

Personally I use rm -fdr as it includes directories.

You could use a tool, mc is excellent for managing files and directories. The Insert button will select files. :)

a_priebe47 if you've a doubt about using any command type: man commandname
that should display a help file ( ie: man rm )
Take a look at this link to see some file management utilities: http://www.slackware.com/book/index....rce=c2352.html
