|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files ignoring nonexistent ones:
|
|
|
|
`rm --force {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files interactively prompting before each removal:
|
|
|
|
`rm --interactive {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Remove specific files printing info about each removal:
|
|

`rm --verbose {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
