Aperçu et fonctionnement
`rm` (Remove) deletes files and directories. Linux filesystems do not have a "Recycle Bin" or "Trash" for CLI commands—once a file is removed with `rm`, its data blocks are unlinked immediately. Combining `-r` (recursive) and `-f` (force) allows removing non-empty directory trees.
Options et drapeaux courants

| -v | Verbose mode explaining what is being deleted. |
