Usually, to delete/remove a file from Linux terminal, we use the rm command (delete files), shred command (securely delete a file), wipe command (securely erase a file) or secure-deletion toolkit (a collection of secure file deletion tools).
We can use any of the above utilities to deal with relatively small files. What if we want to delete/remove a huge file/directory say of about 100-200GB.
