files:file:delete

Delete a given file.

$ rm ${filename}

try on your machine

This is a command for Linux or Unix-based systems using the shell command line interface. "rm" stands for "remove" and this command is used to delete a file or multiple files.

"${filename}" is a variable that contains the name of the file you want to remove. The syntax of ${variable_name} is used to refer to the value stored in a variable. So in this case, the command is telling the system to remove the file whose name is stored in the variable filename.

For example, if the variable filename is set to "myFile.txt", the command would remove that file from the system.

It's important to note that this command is permanent, meaning that the file will be permanently deleted from the system and cannot be recovered. So, make sure you are absolutely sure that you want to delete the file before using this command.
