Hey this is just a quick tutorial how to delete files or folders in a Linux based OS. Of course it's just right-click and "Move to Trash", but I am going to show you the nerdy way in the console.
Remove 1 single file
To remove a single file the command rm is used and after it write the filename with it's extension. Then hit Enter.
rm <filename.extension>
Remove an empty folder
rm --dir <foldername>
Remove a folder containing files
rm --dir -r <foldername>
That's it! It's this easy to remove files and folders in Linux, especially if you don't use a mouse and are stuck with a touchpad, it's probably quicker to type this in.
