delete

delete
   To remove a file from a disk or to remove an item from a file. Files can be deleted using operating system commands or directly from within an application.
   When a file is deleted from a disk, the file is not physically removed; although it is hidden, it is still there on the disk until it is overwritten. In certain circumstances it is possible to undelete or recover the original information with utilities designed for that purpose. If you find you have deleted an important file by accident, do not write any other files to that disk so that you do not overwrite the deleted file. Some network operating systems use a delete inhibit attribute to prevent accidental deletions; other operating systems rely on a readonly attribute.
