To remove a file or Directory

#rm filename (removes a single file)
#rm filename* (removes everything that matches filename. e.g. filename1, filename2, filename.bak)

#rm -rf /home/esofthub/directoryname (the -r deletes directoryname recursively and all its contents)

#rm * ((wildcard *) removes everything within a directory -- make sure you're in the right directory!!)

#rmdir /home/esofthub/directoryname (deletes empty directories)
