There certainly is a recursive option but you don't use that for
individual files; for iniviual files you type the path and of course
you can use completion. If it's a directory with files in it and you
want to get rid of the whole thing then you use the -r option. You
rarely need the -rf (f being force) option but you may need to do
some removes with su or sudo as root depending on where they are. You
ucan use rmdir if you are removing an empty directory. I just did
info rm
and bit listed all the options, including -r and -f and even
explained using "force" with the -r option. Btw you can read the info
displays by arrowing down (no vokeys) without having to interact with
the text. Or you can have it create a file in a convenient place and
read it in an editor:
info rm > rm.txt
