# rm 命令

在 Linux 中，删除（deleting）叫作移除（removing）。`rm` 命令可以删除一个目录中的一个或多个文件或目录，也可以将某个目录及其下属的所有文件及其子目录均删除掉。对于链接文件，只是删除整个链接文件，而原有文件保持不变。

## 命令用法

```
$ rm [OPTIONs] [FILEs]
```

默认情况下，`rm` 命令不会删除目录。使用 `--recursive`(`-r` 或 `-R`)选项可以删除每个列出的目录以及目录的内容。

## 常用可选参数

| ------------------- | ------------------------- |
| -f, --force         | 强制执行删除，忽略不存在的文件和参数，从不提示用户 |
| -i                  | 每个删除动作执行前提示用户             |
| -r, -R, --recursive | 递归地删除目录以及目录的内容            |
| -d, --dir           | 删除空目录                     |
