>Usage
The rm command is used for deleting or removing file or directories.
By default, it does not remove directories but with some options like -r it can also delete them.
This command doesn't give an output but it generates a message in case of an error.

>Options
-v
This option gives a message for each file or directory you delete.
Example:
-zsh
> rm -v file_1
file_1
-r
This option is used for deleting a directory and all the files or subdirectories inside of it.
Assume that you want to delete a directory called dir_1 and the files that are inside of it called file_1 and file_2:
Example:
-zsh
> rm -vr dir_1
dir_1/file_1
dir_1/file_2
dir_1
-i
By using this option you have to give confirmation before deleting a file. Press y to confirm, press n to negate.
Example:
-zsh
> rm -vi file_1
remove file_1? y
file_1
