unlink: Remove the specified file if it is the last link.
$ unlink ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "unlink ${filename}" is used to delete or remove a specific file in a Linux or Unix-like operating system.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • "unlink" refers to the command itself, which is used to delete a file.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the file you want to delete. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file you want to remove.

When you run this command in the terminal, it will locate the file specified by "${filename}" and permanently delete it from the file system.
