- Recursively remove a directory and all its subdirectories:
`rm -r {{path/to/directory}}`
- Forcibly remove a directory, without prompting for confirmation or showing error messages:
`rm -rf {{path/to/directory}}`

`rm -i {{file(s)}}`
- Remove files in verbose mode, printing a message for each removed file:
`rm -v {{path/to/directory/*}}`
