The command "del ${file_pattern}" is used to delete files or directories that match a specific pattern in their names.

• "del" is short for delete, indicating that the command is used to remove files.
• "${file_pattern}" is a placeholder for a specific pattern that you need to replace with the actual pattern you want to match. This pattern can include wildcards, such as "*", "?" or "[ ]", to represent multiple characters or unknown characters.

For example, let's say you want to delete all text files in a folder, you would execute "del .txt" where ".txt" is the file pattern that matches all files ending with ".txt". This command would then delete all text files in the current directory.

It's important to use this command with caution since it irreversibly removes files. Always check and double-check the command before executing it to avoid accidentally deleting important files.
