3.3.7 Remove a File

To delete a file in an Exascale vault, use the ESCLI rmfile command. For example:

@> rm @myvaultname/myfilename

As shown in the example, the simplest form of the command deletes the specified file.

You can add the --force option to delete the file even if it is in use.

You can add the --nowait option to return immediately and run the operation in the background instead of waiting for the command to finish.

You can add the --with-snapshots option to delete the file and any associated snapshots and clones.
