rm: Remove specific files printing info about each removal.
$ rm -v ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine
The command rm -v ${filename1 filename2 ---}
is used for deleting multiple files in a directory.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
rm
: It is the command used for removing or deleting files and directories in Linux.-v
: It is an option that stands for "verbose" and is used to provide more detailed output while removing files. It displays the name of each file as it is being removed.${filename1 filename2 ---}
: This is a placeholder for the list of file names that you want to delete. You would replace${filename1 filename2 ---}
with the actual file names or use wildcards to specify the files you want to delete. The---
represents additional file names if needed.
For example, if you want to delete two files named "file1.txt" and "file2.txt", you would use the command rm -v file1.txt file2.txt
. The terminal would then display a message like this:
removed 'file1.txt'
removed 'file2.txt'
Note: Be cautious while using rm
command, as deleted files cannot be easily recovered. Double-check and ensure that you are deleting the correct files before executing the command.
