A.18.1 remove options

These standard options are supported by remove (see Common options for a complete description of them):

-l

Local; run only in current working directory. See Recursive behavior.

-R

Process directories recursively. See Recursive behavior.

In addition, these options are also supported:

-f

Note that this is not the standard behavior of the ‘-f’ option as defined in Common options.

Delete files before removing them.

Entire directory hierarchies are easily removed using ‘-f’, but take note that it is not as easy to resurrect directory hierarchies as it is to remove them.
