rm

To delete a file or directory, you use the rm command. If
the item you are deleting is a file or an empty directory,
you just need to supply the name and press Enter. On the
other hand, if you try to delete a directory that has files
in it, rm tells you that the directory is not empty. In that
case, you can use the -rf flag to force the deletion. You
can use the rm command as follows:

$ rm

test.txt

Deletes the file test.txt in the current working

directory

$ rm -rf

test

Forces the deletion of the folder test and

everything in it

touch

The touch command is used to create a file and/or
change the timestamps on a file’s access without opening
it. This command is often used when a developer wants
to create a file but doesn’t want to put any content in it.
You can use the touch command as follows:

$ touch

emptyfile.txt

Creates an empty file named

emptyfile.txt

$ touch

file{1..20}.txt

Bulk creates files from file1.txt to

file20.txt
