The simplest way to remove files in Linux is to use the rm command. This command will delete the specified file or folder from the filesystem. To use it, open a terminal window and type rm followed by the name of the file or folder you want to delete. For example, to delete a file called foo.txt, type:
rm foo.txt
To delete an entire folder, use the -r option, like so:
rm -r folder_name
Be careful when using the rm command, as it cannot be undone.
