MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -Type “rm (filename)” in the Terminal to remove a file on Linux. To remove an entire folder (or directory) and all of its contents, type “rm-r (foldername)” into the Terminal instead. The rm and rmdir commands delete files and directories on Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like operating systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use the rm command to remove files you no longer need. The rm command removes the entries for a specified file, group of files, or certain select files from a list within a directory. User confirmation, read permission, and write permission are not required before a file is removed when you use the rm command.

Detailed explanation-3: -rm (remove files and directories permanently) This is a permanent removal; there is no trash can with the ability to recover a file. On myth, you will be prompted to remove a file, but on most linux systems, this is not the default behavior, so be careful.

Detailed explanation-5: -rm-r will recursively delete a directory and all its contents (normally rm will not delete directories, while rmdir will only delete empty directories).
