To delete and remove files on CentOS Linux, you can use the rm<\/code> command in the terminal. The rm<\/code> command is used to remove files and directories.<\/p>\n

Here are some common usage examples of the rm<\/code> command:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To remove a single file, use the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    $ <\/span>rm<\/span> file_name<\/span>
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
    1. To remove multiple files, specify the file names separated by space:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      <\/div>\n
      $ <\/span>rm<\/span> file_name1 file_name2 file_name3<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
      1. To remove a directory, use the -r<\/code> option to recursively remove the directory and its contents:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
        <\/div>\n
        $ <\/span>rm<\/span> -r directory_name<\/span>
        \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
        1. To remove a symbolic link, use the -f<\/code> option to force remove the symbolic link without confirming:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
          <\/div>\n
          $ <\/span>rm<\/span> -f symbolic_link_name<\/span>
          \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Note: Be careful when using the rm<\/code> command, as it permanently deletes files and directories, and there is no way to recover them once they are removed.<\/p>\n
